STEP 1

Place 2 1/2 cups batter into prepared round pan; place remaining batter into prepared square pan. Bake 28-32 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on cooling rack. Loosen cakes by running knife around inside edge of pans. Carefully remove cakes from pans; cool completely.

STEP 8
Cut cakes horizontally in half into layers using serrated knife. Cut round cake vertically in half.
STEP 9
Place bottom of square cake layer onto serving plate or tray; place bottom halves of round layer on two adjacent sides of square layer, forming a heart. Spread with filling. Place top half of each cake layer on filling. Frost top and sides of cake with frosting. Garnish with heart-shaped sprinkles, if desired.
