Chocolate Chip Heart Cookie

By devogirl

This cake should make everyone very happy, and it works extremely well if you have one of those kids who generally avoids cakes covered in tons of frosting (believe it or not they exist more than you might think). It's a really simple and special alternative to traditional cake for a birthday celebration, especially if you don't consider yourself much of a baker -- the recipe couldn't be easier. Just make the batter, pour it into your favorite tart mold or pie pan (like the heart one pictured here) and bake. You'll be left with a really impressive birthday creation that I guarantee won't be around long!
