👩🍳 How to Make a Heart-Shaped Chocolate Layer Cake

Step 1: Bake the Cake Layers

Prepare your chocolate cake batter and pour into a heart-shaped cake pan. Bake according to your recipe’s instructions, adjusting the bake time as needed depending on pan size and batter amount. Once baked, remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

Step 2: Prep the Fillings & Decorations

While the cake cools, prepare your icing, berries, and Pascha Mini Chocolate Chips. Wash and dry the berries well — reserve the nicest ones for the top and slice the rest. Pat slices dry with paper towel to prevent juice from spreading onto the cake.

Step 3: Fill the Icing Bags

Fill piping bags with white and varying shades of pink icing. Use a mix of star and round tips for texture and variety.

Step 4: Assemble the Layers

For the bottom layer, pipe a white icing heart shape, leaving about a 2-inch border from the cake’s edge. Smooth lightly, keeping the icing thin to allow space for fruit. Pipe your pink icings around the border — these can be slightly taller to create dimension. No icing should be added to the sides; the exposed layers will show off the color and texture.

Step 5: Add Fruit & Chocolate

Place strawberry slices and raspberries on the white icing heart section. Sprinkle Pascha 70% Dark Chocolate MINI Chips over the fruit. Repeat for each middle layer.

Step 6: Decorate the Top

For the top layer, skip the white icing center and cover the entire surface with pink icing designs. Arrange your reserved strawberries and raspberries beautifully on top, then finish with a sprinkle of Pascha Vegan White MINI Baking Chips.
