how to hide a message inside a yummy cake!

Peek-a-boo pound cake
I love the idea about the cake, I’m going to try it myself, and I know that’s not an easy job too.

Ingredients
2 (16 ounce) boxes ready to use Pound Cake mix
Or your own recipe, ingredients and directions as followed.
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided, softened
4 eggs, divided
1 1/3 cups milk, divided
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Prepare your first pound cake: combine 1 box of cake mix, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter, 2 eggs, and 2/3 cup milk in a large bowl. Whisk together with an electric mixer or by hand.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes less than instructed on box (about 50 minutes.) Let cool, remove from pan and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Cut cold cake into slices the thickness of your cookie cutter. Cut heart shapes or any other shape that you desire from the slices. Set aside.

Prepare your second box of pound cake mix the same as the first. Coat a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray and pour just barely enough batter to cover the bottom. Align your heart cut-outs down the center, keeping them tightly together. Poor the remaining batter over the heart cut-outs in the pan, making sure to cover the sides and tops. Bake according to the directions on the box, about 1 hour. Let cool when done.
Remove baked and cooled pound cake from. Let set; cut into slices and enjoy the secret inside of every slice of the cake.

With a mixer, cream butter and shortening together. Add sugar, a little at a time. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Stir dry ingredients together in a bowl and add to mixer alternately with milk, starting with the flour and ending with the flour.
