Beat the eggs until fluffy. Add sugar in portions, continuing to beat until a fluffy dense mass is obtained

• Add dye to the whipped mass and mix again.
• In a separate container, mix all the dry ingredients for the biscuit and add a little to the whipped colored mass.

Pour half of the finished biscuit dough into a special shape in the shape of a heart. If there is no such shape, then bake in a round one, then cut out the desired shape

• We bake the biscuit in the oven at 180 * C for 30 minutes.
• While the cakes are cooling, prepare the syrup for impregnation. It can be prepared both from sugar and water, followed by the addition of dye, and from jam syrup diluted with water.

From the first cooled cake, remove the upper part 1.5 cm thick. We also cut out the pulp, leaving the edges with a thickness of 1.5 cm and the bottom

Rub the pulp on a coarse, sharp grater

• Dilute the gelatin in a cup by adding a little water. After swelling, the gelatin is heated until it is completely dissolved, but we do not dilute it to a boil.
• Drain all the liquid from the cherries, chop.

Put cottage cheese, chopped cherries and chocolate chips, grated beforehand, into a container. Mix the whole mass well and leave it ready

Whip the cream with sugar into a dense mass. Mix half of the butter cream with the curd cream and add the gelatin

• Soak the prepared biscuits and the tops from them with syrup. We put the first biscuit on a plate or a special support, lightly greasing it with butter.
• Pour the liquid cream inside the biscuit, close it with an inverted top. Lubricate the top with creamy white cream.

We repeat the process with the second cake, putting it on the first

In the center we make an inscription with a cream with a dye for a loved one, which you choose yourself

Lubricate the entire surface of the cake with creamy white cream. Sprinkle the sides and edges of the top with grated biscuit

We put the cake, prepared with our own hands according to this recipe, in the refrigerator for impregnation. We serve on February 14 to the festive table.
