First, make a large square chocolate cake or brownies measuring at least 16 x 8 cm (about 6 x 3 inches) in total. You can make it bigger, of course, and then you&#8217;ll have some tasty leftovers for yourself after baking.<div class=\"clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-166 size-full\" title=\"Chocolate cake\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/04\/HeartCake_Stap_2.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate cake\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/04\/HeartCake_Stap_2.jpg 360w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/04\/HeartCake_Stap_2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/04\/HeartCake_Stap_2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>2. From a piece of paper or cardboard, cut the following two shapes: a square measuring 7 x 7 cm and a circle with a diameter of 7 cm (2 and \u00be inches). Cut the circle in half and arrange the pieces together so that they fit on top of the whole chocolate cake. Now cut these shapes out from the cake.<div class=\"clear\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-167 size-full\" title=\"Heart shaped chocolate cake\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/04\/HeartCake_Stap_4.jpg\" alt=\"Heart shaped chocolate cake\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/04\/HeartCake_Stap_4.jpg 360w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/04\/HeartCake_Stap_4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/smartphoto-express-production-wp-blogs-com\/8\/2017\/04\/HeartCake_Stap_4-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>3.
