Steps:
- In a bowl, cream the butter for the strawberry pound cake until smooth.
- Scrape down the sides, add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs (both whole and yolks), 4-5 drops of red food coloring and strawberry emulsion.
- With the mixer on low, slowly pour the eggs into the batter.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 1-2 minutes.
- Return the mixer to low and add the flour 1/3 cup at a time.
- Once all of the flour is added, increase the speed to medium and beat for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the batter into a parchment paper-lined 9″x9″ pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.
- Bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes.
- While the strawberry is still warm but cool enough to handle, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to punch out pieces of cake.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, repeat steps 1-7 with the ingredients for the vanilla pound cake.
- Pour 1/2″ of vanilla pound cake batter into the bottom of a parchment paper-lined loaf pan.
- Place the strawberry pound cake hearts in a line on top of the batter leaving about 1/2″ of space on each end.
- Gently pour the remaining pound cake batter over the top of the hearts.
- Use an offset spatula to smooth out the top of the cake.
- Bake at 350F for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the icing.
- Microwave the icing for 15-20 seconds and allow to cool for approximately 1 minute.
- Stir the icing and pour over the top of the pound cake. Garnish with fresh cut strawberries.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Prepare your first pound cake combining 1 box of cake mix, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter, 2 eggs, and 2/3 cup milk in a large bowl. Whisk together with an electric mixer or by hand. Add in your food coloring until you reach the desired color (I think I used 25 drops.) Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes less than instructed on box (about 50 minutes.) Let cool, remove from pan and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Cut cold cake into slices the thickness of your cookie cutter. Cut heart shapes from the slices. Set aside. Prepare your second box of pound cake mix the same as the first, except omit the food coloring. Coat a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray and pour just barely enough batter to cover the bottom. Align your heart cut-outs down the center, keeping them tightly together. Poor the remaining batter over the heart cut-outs in the pan, making sure to cover the sides and tops. (Careful the batter doesn't overflow.) Bake according to the directions on the box, about 1 hour. Let cool when done. Meanwhile, prepare your icing. In a medium bowl, mix all of your ingredients together until combined and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if it appears too runny or more milk if it seems too stiff, until you reach the consistency you like. Remove baked and cooled pound cake from pan and top with icing. Let set; cut into slices and enjoy! Adorable, right!?
