••••RED VELVET HEART TORTE••••

*Valentine Collection*

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 30 min + cooling

•1 package (18-1/4 ounces) red velvet cake mix
•1 carton (6 ounces) raspberry yogurt
•1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
•1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
•1 cup raspberry pie filling

1. Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Pour into two greased and floured 9-inch heart-shaped baking pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the centers comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

2. In a large bowl, combine yogurt and confectioners' sugar; fold in whipped topping. Split each cake into two horizontal layers. Place one bottom layer on a serving plate; top with a fourth of the yogurt mixture. Repeat layers three times.

3. Spread the raspberry pie filling over the top of the cake to within 1-in of the edges. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

YIELD: 14 servings

••••FOOD TIP••••
