1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/8 tsp salt

1/2 cup cold water

3 tbsp cooking oil

Stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, soda and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Make a hole in the center. Grease a baking pan with oil and little flour.

Keep the cake to cool down on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Using a 3 ¼ inch heart shaped (cookie) cutter, cut the cake into 4 heart-shaped pieces. Spread chocolate frosting (see below) on all the pieces. Decorate the hearts with icing.
