When it comes to cake, fruit cakes are my absolute favorite. The recipe that I am going to share is super easy and very delicious. This specific cake has a basic moist sponge base with fruits. I have also added fruits on one side of the open heart, which I think looks super cool and fun!

• Now the fun part, melt the dark compound using the double boiling method and pour it into a piping bag. Take a butter/parchment paper and make a half-heart as shown in the figure.
