Instructions
-
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a heart-shaped cake pan, or use parchment paper.
-
Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and combined.
-
Add boiling water to the batter and mix carefully (the batter will be thin). Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix in the vanilla and milk, adding more milk as necessary to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
-
Assemble the cake: Once the cake is fully cooled, frost the top and sides with the chocolate frosting. Decorate with chocolate shavings or heart-shaped sprinkles.

Serve and enjoy!
