Heart inside a cupcake

I’ve tried to make something a little different this week with Whitworths sugars – I’ve baked a heart inside a cupcake.

I used a favourite recipe to make a chocolate cake batter which I cooked in a square tin. When it had baked and cooled I cut out small hearts using a cookie cutter.

I then placed each heart in a cupcake case and added a generous dollop of vanilla cake mixture around each one. When they were baked and cooled I iced each one with yummy vanilla buttercream.

A delicious surprise in each one and perfect for your Valentine! What do you think?
