Strawberry Sweetheart Cake

(Courtesy of Mr Food)

Ingredients:
1/3 c. heart-shaped sprinkles, divided (or any other sprinkles you would like to use)
1 (18.25 oz.) pkg. yellow cake mix, batter prepared according to package directions- can use strawberry cake mix instead if you would like
1 (8 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 quart fresh strawberries, washed and hulled

Directions:
Preheat oven according to cake mix package directions.  Stir 1/4 c. sprinkles into cake batter; pour equal amounts into one 8-inch square pan and one 8-inch round pan.

Bake cakes according to package directions.  Let cool slightly then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Place square cake toward bottom of large platter, positioned like a diamond.  Cut round cake in half and place halves on platter with flat sides flush to the top right and left sides of the "diamond", creating a heart-shaped cake.

Frost top and sides of cake with whipped topping.  Place strawberries stem-end down in whipped topping, outlining the edge of the cake.  Sprinkle remaining sprinkles in center of strawberries.  Serve, or cover loosely and chill until ready to serve.
