The recipe is very quick and easy \u2013 you need only 15 minutes to prepare it and you can use any baking tray of your liking. However, if you wish to surprise your other half for St. Valentine&#8217;s Day (or any other day if you feel in a romantic mood), you can use a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"silicone heart shaped baking tin\" href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/refer\/heart-shaped-cake-baking-mould\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">silicone heart shaped baking tin<\/a><\/span> like ours to achieve this fabulous finish.
