• 1 teaspoon baking soda 
• 1 cup butter softened
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar 
• 4  eggs beaten
• 3 cups flour all-purpose
• 2 cups milk 
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
• 2 cups sugar white

Equipment

• bowl
• frying pan
• oven
• hand mixer
• toothpicks

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch square pan and an 8-inch round pan.
2. Beat white sugar and 1 cup butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
3. Mix eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and almond extract into creamed butter mixture. Stir baking powder and baking soda into butter mixture until just combined.
4. Stir 1 cup flour into butter mixture until just combined.
5. Add 2/3 cup milk into butter-flour mixture; mix well. Continue adding 1 cup flour and 2/3 cup milk, alternating until all the flour and milk are used and batter is smooth.
6. Pour batter into the 2 prepared pans.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool cakes completely before removing from pans, at least 2 hours.
8. Beat confectioners' sugar, 1 cup butter, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a bowl with an electric mixer until icing is fluffy and smooth.
9. Remove cakes from pans and slice round cake in half.
10. Lay the square cake on a work surface so it resembles a diamond-shape.
11. Lay 1 round cake half on the top left side of the 'diamond' cake.
12. Lay the second round cake half on the top right side of the 'diamond' cake, creating a 'heart-shaped' cake on top.
13. Spread icing over the assembled cake.
