0 Preheat oven to 350°F.
1 You will need 2 medium bowls to prepare the white & red cake mixes. In one bowl prepare the white cake mix by whisking 3 eggs, 1 cup of water or milk and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil with a electric mixer. In the second bowl whisk together the red velvet cake mix with three eggs, one cup of milk or water, and 1 cup of vegetable oil.
2 First, line and spray a 9x13 rectangular pan then pour in the red batter. Bake according to box instructions, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool.
3 Once it cooled, begin to cut out mini heart shapes and set them aside.
4 Line and spray a cupcake pan then pour about 1/3 of white batter into the cup cake pan.
5 Then, place a heart shaped red velvet cake in the center of the batter that is in the pan.
6 Now, gently pour over the heart shapes some more white batter to fully cover.
7 Bake according to cake box instructions, about 20-24 minutes.
8 Once the cupcakes are finished, slice a tiny slit where you see the red heart is positioned so that when you cut it open, you cut through the center of the heart shapes red velvet.
