Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silicone mat) and lightly grease it with cooking spray. Spread the cake batter across the sheet in an even layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, and the edges are slightly pulling away from the sides of the baking sheet. After baking, transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the strawberries by cutting them into heart shapes. To do this, cut off the top 1/4 inch of each strawberry (including the white part and the leaves). Then, make two diagonal slits on either side of the hollow center of the strawberry to remove a small wedge and shape it like a heart. Optionally, round the edges for a more defined heart shape. Place the strawberries in the refrigerator.
- In a small mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whisk together the heavy whipping cream, vanilla, and sugar. Continue whisking until the mixture has doubled in size and firm peaks begin to form. The whipped cream should be thick enough that it doesn’t fall off a spoon easily.
- Once the cake has cooled, cut it into heart-shaped pieces (or squares, if preferred). Assemble the cake pieces, strawberries, and dollops of whipped cream onto bamboo skewers. Chill the skewers until you're ready to serve them.
- Enjoy this delightful treat with a hug and a kiss from your loved one - and even more whipped cream on top!
