[vc_row css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22padding-left%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%220%22%7D%7D"][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today we present to you a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is sure to impress. Perfect as a Valentine’s Day gift, for Mother’s Day, or any other occasion when you want to give a personal touch to a special someone.
The recipe is inspired by the classic marble cake, which in this version takes the shape of a heart.
Instead of 00 flour, we used organic sifted Spelt flour. For the pink heart, we used a unique natural colouring, a true “superfood” due to its valuable organoleptic properties: dehydrated beetroot powder.
The colour is softer compared to artificial colourings. The taste is delicate and when tasting the freshly baked cake, it vaguely evokes the flavour of a carrot cake.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row height="auto" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22background-color%22%3A%22%23f5f5f5%22%2C%22margin-top%22%3A%226px%22%2C%22margin-bottom%22%3A%226px%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%2218px%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%2218px%22%2C%22border-style%22%3A%22solid%22%2C%22border-left-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-top-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-bottom-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-right-width%22%3A%221px%22%2C%22border-color%22%3A%22_header_middle_text_hover%22%7D%7D"][vc_column width="1/4" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22background-color%22%3A%22%23f5f5f5%22%2C%22padding-left%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%220%22%2C%22border-left-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-top-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-bottom-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-right-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-color%22%3A%22_header_middle_text_hover%22%7D%7D"][us_image image="14220" size="full" align="center" css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22border-style%22%3A%22solid%22%2C%22border-left-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-top-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-bottom-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-right-width%22%3A%221%22%2C%22border-color%22%3A%22%23333333%22%7D%7D"][/vc_column][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_column_text css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22color%22%3A%22_header_middle_text_hover%22%2C%22font-family%22%3A%22Arial%2C%20Helvetica%2C%20sans-serif%22%2C%22font-weight%22%3A%22400%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2224px%22%2C%22margin-top%22%3A%220%22%2C%22margin-bottom%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-top%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-bottom%22%3A%220%22%7D%7D"]

The cake is made in two steps. First, we prepare the coloured batter with dehydrated beetroot powder. Once baked and cooled, we cut out small hearts using a cookie cutter. Then we prepare the cocoa batter and pour a third of it into the loaf tin, spreading it well along the base. At this point, we take our coloured hearts and place them on the mixture side by side. We cover everything with the remaining cocoa batter and… into the oven it goes![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22padding-left%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%220%22%7D%7D"][vc_column width="1/2"][us_image image="14237" size="full"][vc_column_text css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-size%22%3A%2214px%22%2C%22line-height%22%3A%2218px%22%2C%22margin-top%22%3A%226px%22%7D%7D"]Cutting out the hearts from the coloured batter[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][us_image image="14238" size="full"][vc_column_text css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-size%22%3A%2214px%22%2C%22line-height%22%3A%2218px%22%2C%22margin-top%22%3A%226px%22%7D%7D"]Placing them on a layer of batter[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css="%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22padding-left%22%3A%220%22%2C%22padding-right%22%3A%220%22%7D%7D"][vc_column][vc_column_text]Ingredients for the pink batter

Procedure
Work the soft butter, sugar, and vanilla with electric whisks or a stand mixer. Incorporate the eggs one at a time until absorbed to create a creamy mixture. Add the beetroot powder (for the first batter) or unsweetened cocoa powder (for the second batter). Finally, pour in the sifted flour along with the baking powder, alternating with the milk to achieve a smooth and lump-free batter. Grease and flour a 28 cm loaf tin. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 35-40 minutes for the pink batter and 45 minutes for the cocoa batter. Every oven is different, and the cake should not bake too long, so remember to do the skewer test. Let it cool well before removing from the tin. Garnish the cake with melted dark chocolate and decorate with fresh strawberries or raspberries.[/vc_column_text][us_image image="14246" size="full"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row
