The cake stays moist even if you refrigerate it! Recipe is below, and instructions on assembling the cake into a heart shape is in the video. Please note: the heart-shaped cake measures 13” x 13”, you will need a large plate for assembling and serving it. I used an oval tray which measures 13.5” x 17.5”. Peace Love And Tasty Eats!
