Valentine's Day Recipe

Valentine's Day wouldn't be the same without some kind of heart shaped snack, and we've created the ultimate Valentines victoria sponge heart cake.

Ingredients:
- 200g caster sugar
- 200g softened butter
- 4 eggs beaten
- 200g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp milk

Firstly I made a heart shape from baking paper for both the cake tins, and buttered the sides. This will make the cakes easy to get out of the tin when they've cooked.

Collect all your ingredients together, and mix together your caster sugar, softened butter, baking powder and self raising flour. Once this has created a smooth mixture, add in the beaten eggs and milk.

Pour the mixture into your cake tins and cook for 20 minutes until golden. 

I cooled my cakes down, and topped them with icing sugar for that finishing touch, adding some butter cream icing and jam in the middle!
