Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the half sheet pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper. Don’t forget to grease the parchment paper too.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the unsalted butter and sugar together until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla until combined.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk into the butter mixture until fully incorporated.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Cooling and Filling
- Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to the fridge to chill for about 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the filling by beating the unsalted butter and marshmallow fluff together until smooth.
- Add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined and fluffy.
Assembly
- Once the cake has cooled, cut out hearts using a 4-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. You will need two hearts for each cake.
- Pipe the filling onto half of the heart-shaped cakes and place the remaining hearts on top to create a sandwich.
- Freeze the assembled cakes for 1 hour to set the filling.
Coating
- Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl with the coconut oil. Stir until smooth.
- Dip each frozen cake into the melted candy mixture, covering it completely.
- Place the dipped cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Finally, pipe melted white chocolate into swirls on top of each cake for a beautiful finish and chill them again to let the swirls set.
Notes
Store cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
