I’m here for you, friend. And I come bearing chocolate. Chocolate sour cream break-up cake, to be exact. This mini cake serves one newly single lady. Or, one recently unattached man. Or, one sad chick. Or, one melancholy dude. There’s no better way to move onward and upward than with chocolate. The cake is made in a 6" cake pan. It’s what I use for all of my mini cakes for two. But in this case, this sad sad case, the entire cake is for you. I’ll hold your hand through making the pretty red heart. The heart is made from crushed freeze-dried raspberries. (The same ones I used for my pink raspberry marshmallows). While I would normally grind them in a food processor, in cases of extreme bitterness, it can be quite satisfying to pound them by hand. Over and over and over. Beat those raspberries to bits! You’ll feel better, trust me. Then, place a heart-shaped cookie cutter in the center of the cake. Pile the raspberry powder inside. Cover the cookie cutter with a piece of parchment paper, and sprinkle powdered sugar on the rest of the cake. Then, remove the paper and cookie cutter. Insert knife. Right in his back. I mean, the center of the heart. And serve that broken heart up on plates. Heart break never tasted so good. Chin up, friend. There’s someone great out there for you, I just know it.
