Chocolate Hearts

Sometimes husbands have a bad day at work and they need to come home to heart-shaped chocolate cakes.
Sometimes wives need an excuse to bake and also to prove that their Martha Stewart Cake Stand can do more than just look pretty on a shelf. 

Trader Joe's Greatest and Easiest Chocolate Cake

1 tsp vanilla

2. Pour batter into greased/floured baking pans.
3. Bake at 350F for 55 minutes. 

I don't like chocolate, so my bad-day remedy would be sour candy, a chick flick, and a late night trip to Target. What's your bad-day quick fix?? Leave a comment and let us know!
