Heart-Shaped Pink Velvet Bundt Cake + Cookies for Kids’ Cancer

Heart-Shaped Pink Velvet Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting from thelittlekitchen.net

I'm excited to share this recipe with you and an event that I have been organizing behind the scenes.

Let's first talk about the event. I organized a bunch of food bloggers together to share Valentine's Day inspired recipes to help raise funds for pediatric cancer. For an organization called Cookies for Kids' Cancer, a nonprofit that is on the front lines of that fight.

Heart-Shaped Pink Velvet Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting from thelittlekitchen.netFor the last few years, I have helped organized a food blogger cookie swap and while we decided to discontinue that event, I felt a strong feeling that I wanted to continue my support of C4KC and rally my food blogger friends to help bring awareness to what this amazing organization does for pediatric cancer research.

We are doing this event because we want to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer.

Did you know that cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S.? There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. With less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute's budget going to all childhood cancer combined, I knew it was important for me to get involved.

Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids' Cancer! Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because these three companies: Dixie Crystals, Land O’Lakes and Mediavine have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!!!

Currently, we have raised: $1,515 we are a little over HALF WAY towards our $3000 goal, will you help us with a donation today? Every little bit helps! (Click the Donate Now button to get to our fundraising page and donate today!)

We have until February 28th to raise $3000! So please donate today!

Let's get to this recipe. I love using a box mix and adding things to it to make it even better!

I was in the store the other day and came upon this heart-shaped bundt cake pan and I had to get it!

Spray it generously with baking spray. Don't miss any nook or cranny!

Smooth the top of the batter with a spatula.

Bake in the oven for about 33 to 35 minutes at 350 degrees F.

While that's baking, make the cream cheese frosting. This is my absolute favorite cream cheese frosting recipe!

I made it with Dixie Crystals powdered sugar and Land O'Lakes unsalted butter!

Sift the powdered sugar.

After mixing the cream cheese and butter together, add the powdered sugar in batches and keep mixing!

I just used a coupler (without the ring) instead of a tip with a decorating bag to pipe the cream cheese frosting on!

And now let me give you a piece of my heart! 😀

This cake is so easy to make and sooooo good!

Heart-Shaped Pink Velvet Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

Pink Velvet Cake

  • 1 package pink velvet cake mix 16.5 ounces
  • 3.4- ounce package of vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 3 cups 1 1/2 pounds cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup + 1/2 Tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, water, eggs and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Using a large spatula, mix ingredients until combined, don’t over mix.
  • Spray a heart-shaped bundt cake pan generously with baking spray. Pour batter into the the bundt cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 33 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in several places in the bundt cake comes out clean. Place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then, carefully (pan will still be hot), flip the cake onto the cooling rake and allow the cake to cool.

Cream Cheese Frosting (Make while cake is baking)

  • In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and butter. Mix together with an electric hand mixer, thoroughly, for at least 90 seconds to a minute. Add the sugar in batches and mix thoroughly. Mix until perfectly smooth and shiny, another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Refrigerate until use. If refrigerating, leave the frosting on the counter for at least 30 minutes and then mix with spatula, thoroughly, before frosting the cake with it. Makes 5 cups of frosting.

      I love this bundt cake, and the fact that it is a pink one instead of red velvet makes me even happier!  Thrilled to be part of this fund-raiser, thank you so much for coordinating!  Happy Valentine’s Day!
