Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually add 3 cups of all-purpose flour and mix until the dough forms.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick.
Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, then let cool.
Melt 8 ounces of dark chocolate in a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly, then gently fold it into the whipped cream until combined.
Divide the mousse into serving dishes and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ cup of sugar.
Add ½ cup of cold butter and mix until crumbly.
Stir in 1 cup of milk and mix until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Let cool, then slice in half and layer with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with liners.
In a bowl, mix 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, combine 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of buttermilk, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add red food coloring to achieve the desired shade of red.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined.
Pour the batter into the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool before frosting.
