Ingredients

  • 2x Morrisons lemon drizzle cake kit
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 120g softened unsalted butter plus extra for greasing
  • 200ml semi skimmed milk
  • 3 tsp pink food colouring
  • Lemon peel (to decorate)
  • Edible heart confetti

Method

  1. Step 1

    Pre-heat oven to 160˚C, 140˚C fan, gas mark 3. Grease both loaf tins with a little butter and line with baking paper or loaf tin liners.

  2. Step 2

    In two separate, large bowls make up both sponge mixes separately by emptying each sponge mix into each mixing bowl, adding the eggs, butter and milk.

  3. Step 3

    Mix each bowl of mixture until smooth. Add your food colouring to one of the mixtures that will make your pink heart sponge. Pop your non-coloured mixture to one side. Pour your pink heart mixture into one of the prepared cake tins and pop in the oven for 35-40 mins.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from the oven and leave on a cooling rack to cool. Meanwhile, make your drizzle topping by emptying both sachets in a small bowl and mixing with 6 tbsp of boiling water. Set aside.

  5. Step 5

    Once your pink cake has cooled, slice the loaf the same thickness as a 2-3cm heart cookie cutter (approx 6-7 slices). Cut out a heart shape from each slice of loaf and pop to one side. Reuse or eat the scraps later!

  6. Step 6

    Pour out 1/4 of your lemon cake mixture in the bottom of your other prepared loaf tin then stand up the cut-out hearts in a row down the middle, butted up next to one another so they stand straight. Pop the rest of the batter into a piping bag and pipe the remaining batter on top of the hearts and down the sides until even and the hearts are no longer visible and the batter is evenly spread on top. Pop in the oven for 40 mins.

  7. Step 7

    Remove, leave to cool and top with drizzle before scattering with lemon peel and heart confetti.
