Cook Valentine’s dinner for loved ones at home and make the meal special with this stunning heart-shaped cake. No special gourmet baking pan is required—just use an 8-inch disposable aluminum pan and bend it into the shape of a heart. The taste of sweet raspberries really comes through in this cake since preserves are used in the cake and glaze. But for a delicious variation, you could also top the cake with sliced strawberries and use strawberry jam instead. Don’t fret if the frosting mixture becomes too thick to spread while you’re decorating the cake. Simply pop the remaining frosting in the microwave for about 30 seconds to soften.

Mix together cake mix, water, egg substitute and 1/3 cup of jam with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds; change speed to high and mix for 2 minutes more.
