Little Debbie Copycat Valentine's Heart Cakes

These Little Debbie Copycat Valentine’s Heart Cakes are soft, chocolatey, and filled with fluffy cream—just like the sweet lunchbox treat you remember, but made with clean, simple ingredients. Moist, fresh milled, gluten-free cake layers sandwich a dreamy vanilla filling, then get coated in rich chocolate for that classic, nostalgic finish. No artificial dyes, no preservatives, no mystery ingredients—just real food made extra special. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, gifting, or bringing back a little childhood magic in the best homemade way.

Notes

Additional Allergens: Dairy: Sub butter & cream for the dairy-free alternative. Eggs: Sub egg whites for aquafaba - 2–3 tablespoons to replace one egg white I love to make these in stages. I'll bake, cut and freeze the cakes first, then when I have time I'll whip up icing and fill them and re-freeze to firm everything up. Then, when I have more time, I'll prep the chocolate and dip them + refreeze. It's so simple to make this recipe work around a busy schedule instead of doing it all from start to finish. The cakes store wonderfully in the freezer in an airtight container once finished for up to 6 months of storage or they store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week. You could store them on the countertop if you're in a cooler climate, but here in Florida the chocolate just melts.
