Chocolate Valentine Surprise Cake
This Valentine Surprise Cake has a hidden heart inside! This chocolate loaf cake is so fun and easy to make for Valentine’s Day and everyone will just love it.
You can also use a white cake/frosting using pink/red food coloring. However, we love the strawberry and chocolate combo!

Can you send me the recipe or link for chocolate valentine surprise cake? Thank you.
What did you do with the leftover pink cake?
I just store the scraps and my boys eat them…but I have also made cake pops several times with leftover cake.
HELlo!
The Valentine’s Day cake with the heart in the center, when it’s time to pour the chocolate batter do I pour it all or just enough to cover the bottom of the pan?
Thanks!
I like your method for cutting the hearts. It’s a lot easier than the way I did it.
Do you bake the cake in a 9×13 or loaf pan and where is the 2nd row of hearts?
Do you use the entire cake mix or just half? I’m just wondering it will overflow if I use too much. Excited to try this! Thanks!
