Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of one 8-inch round cake pan and one 8-inch square cake pan with a piece of parchment paper cut to fit. Lightly grease and flour both cake pans and set aside.
- Wash the strawberries, remove the stems and cut them into quarters. Place the strawberries in a shallow bowl and mash gently with the back of a fork until all strawberries are mashed and some juices are released. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until well combined. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, all but 1 tablespoon of the strawberry gelatin package, baking powder and salt. With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk, ending with the flour mixture, until well combined and batter is smooth. With the mixer on low, beat in the mashed strawberries and their juices.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake cakes for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool in pans 20 minutes before running a knife around the edge and turning the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cakes are cooled, cut the round cake in half. Place the square cake on a large cake stand or platter so that it look like a diamond when you're looking at it. Place the half circle cakes on the top flat sides of the diamond to create a heart shape. See step-by-step images.
- To make the frosting beat the butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer until smooth. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon strawberry gelatin and powdered sugar and mix on low speed until just combined. Turn the mixer to medium-high speed and beat frosting until fluffy. Add additional powdered sugar if frosting is too thin to spread.
- Spread frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake. Cut and serve. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- 1. Crush 1/2 cup of the strawberries; add water; cook 2 minutes; sieve. Mix sugar and cornstarch; gradually stir into strawberry sauce. Cook, and stir until thick and clear. Cool slightly; pour over remaining sliced strawberries. Cool to room temperature and use as cake filling for heart shaped cakes. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans OR alternately spray pans with non-stick baking spray with flour, then line bottom of pans with parchment paper and spray paper also. Combine all cake ingredients in bowl of an electric mixer and beat for thirty seconds on low speed, then beat two minutes on medium speed. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Place cake pans on cooling racks. Let cool in pans for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove cakes from pans (remove parchment paper, if used) and let cakes cool completely before filling with strawberries and sauce. Once cakes have cooled completely, using a 2 1/2-inch to 3-inch heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out heart shaped slices of cake from both cake layers. Spread strawberries with sauce on one side of each heart shaped cake, then sandwich with another heart shaped cake. Repeat with remaining heart shaped cakes. Place cakes on serving plates. Heavily dust tops of cakes with confectioners' sugar and place edible flower or sliced stawberry on each cake for garnish, if desired. Serve cakes with whipped cream, Cool Whip or Redi-Whip . Store any uneaten cakes in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Note: You may have extra strawberries and sauce left over. Store in refrigerator for another use.
STRAWBERRY HEART CAKE
My granddaughter, Leslie, was born on Valentine's Day, so every year I bake up this special strawberry heart-shaped cake for her. We love the berries folded right into the batter. It's a convenient way to whip up a delightful dessert since it starts with a boxed mix.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sift the self-rising flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the cold butter pieces, and chop the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and whipped cream together, and pour into the bowl containing the flour mixture; add milk and vanilla extract. Stir to make a dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes; allow the cake to cool completely. With a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 16 hearts from the cake. It helps to wiggle the cutter slightly while cutting. Remove cut-outs carefully to avoid breaking.
