Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract until fully mixed.

Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk.

Add the teal food coloring to the batter and stir until the desired hue is reached.

Pour the batter into a heart-shaped cake pan, spreading it evenly.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool the cake completely in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Frost and decorate your cooled cake with favorite frosting and teal accents.
