Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (heart shape layer pans) or 45 minutes (tube or bundt pan) or until a cake tester inserted into the cake layers or cake comes out clean.
Let cake or cake layers cool for 10 minutes in pan, top side up for tube cake and upside down for bundt cake. Turn out onto wire rack to finish cooling. For heart-shaped cake, arrange one layer on a cake serving plate. Evenly spread raspberry jam over cake layer. Top with second layer. Evenly spread top and sides with frosting of choice. Fur tube or bundt, spread frosting of choice over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle decorative confectioners' red sugar over cake as desired.
