🧂 Ingredients

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch heart shaped cake pans and lightly
dust them with flour. This will help the cakes release cleanly when they're done
baking.
2 In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In a separate
bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs, food coloring and cocoa
powder.
3 Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Be careful not to overmix. The batter should be smooth with no lumps.
4 Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes,
until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5 Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto
a wire rack to finish cooling.
6 While the cakes cool, make the frosting. Beat together 1 cup butter, 3 cups
powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2-3 tablespoons milk until smooth and
spreadable.
