Ingredients:
For the dough:
8 
Hilltops Free Range Pastured eggs 
200g raw sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
3 tablespoons of oil (we use sunflower oil for baking)

1.5 cups of plain flour, mixed with 40g of baking powder
​
For the middle:
1 jar of raspberry jam

For the frosting:
400ml of thick cream
200g of pure icing sugar, or very finely ground raw sugar
250g, 1 packet of raspberries, washed and drained of all water droplets

Preparation:
1. Mix the eggs with the sugar, on the highest mixer speed, for at least 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
2. Add the milk, oil, and slowly add the mix of flour and baking powder, making sure there are no lumps formed in the process.
3. 
Butter a heart-shaped baking dish, make sure you cut out a sheet of baking paper to cover just the bottom of the mould, so that it comes off easily after baking. Pour in the dough mixture.
4. Preheat oven at 180 degrees C. Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes. Cool down fully before removing from the
​mould.

5. While the cake is cooling down, you can make the frosting. Beat the thick cream together with the icing sugar on the highest mixer speed. Add a tiny drop of red food colouring, or more if you want to make the pink more intense.

The longer you mix it, the thicker it will become. We like to make it so that it is not too liquid and stays on the cake, but it is still fluffy to the taste, and not too 'solid butter-like':

6. Remove cake from the mould, and cut it carefully in half, with the longest knife you have. 
​Spread jam on the lower half of the heart:

Cover with the second half, and press lightly together so the cake sticks well and stays together for the frosting:

 7. Spread the pink frosting evenly along the shape, and decorate with fresh raspberries on top. The cake is ready to enjoy right away!

NOTE: if you don't have a heart-shaped mould, a basic heart shape can easily be fashioned from a regular circle mould. This drawing explains how to cut the circle cake, and use the cut offs to make a heart-shaped cake.

The frosting helps to stick all the pieces together, and to 'conceal' the seams in the ready heart-shaped cake:
