Ingredients

  • ½ C butter
  • 2 C granulated sugar divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 C milk
  • 2 ¼ C flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 C blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Start the blueberry topping by combining the blueberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, and a splash of water in a pot on the stovetop. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 20 min.
  • Meanwhile, start the cake batter. Cream together the butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Then add in the vanilla, eggs, and milk. Once combined, sift in the flour and baking powder.
  • Spread the batter over two greased 9x12 pans and bake for 25-30 min until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 min and then remove from the pan and allow to cool completely.
  • To make the whipped cream, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Assemble the cakes by cutting out the cake into heart shapes, drizzle with cooled blueberry topping, whipped cream, and top with another heart cake and whipped cream.
