Individual Heart-Shaped Cakes, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Enhance the Flavor:

Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for a more pronounced vanilla flavor.
Stir in a quarter cup of cocoa powder for chocolate heart-shaped cakes.
Fold in half a cup of chopped strawberries or raspberries for a fruity twist.
Top with a glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and a touch of melted butter for added sweetness.

Improve the Texture:

Use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour for a more tender crumb.
Beat the eggs and sugar for a longer time until they become pale and fluffy, creating a light and airy batter.
Add a tablespoon of mayonnaise to the batter for extra moisture and richness.
Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes before baking to allow the flour to hydrate, resulting in a smooth and even texture.

Decorate Creatively:

Personalize the Cakes:

Cut heart shapes out of parchment paper and place them on the bottom of each cake mold before pouring in the batter. This will create a crisp and defined heart shape.
Add a small amount of food coloring to the batter to create different colored cakes, such as pink, red, or purple.
Use mini cookie cutters to cut out additional heart shapes from leftover cake or cookie dough and add them as decorations.

Additional Tips:

Grease and flour the cake molds thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool completely before frosting or decorating.
Refrigerate the cakes for 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set and the flavors to meld.
