Whether or not you have someone to share it with, these mini chocolate heart cakes are the perfect gift (for yourself or someone special) for Valentine’s Day. Homemade Valentine’s Day gifts are the best, and these chocolate heart cakes are too easy to not make as a Valentine’s Day gift. I used 4-inch ramekins to bake the mini chocolate cakes, then a large heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes from the cakes once they were cooled. Then, I used cream cheese frosting to write sweet nothings on top. 

Don’t these cute little chocolate heart cakes remind you of Sweethearts candies? You know, those colorful heart candies that have things written on them like “Kiss Me” or “Call Me” or “I Love You” on them? I used to love eating those around Valentine’s Day as a kid, but now I love chocolate so much more. Maybe that is why I created the bigger, chocolate cake version of them
