    I have found many recipes here that I have made or worked with to fit into my food plan.
    This one is not a recipe I will make . It's a box cake mix with cream cheese frosting. Too many calories. . Almost half of my daily limit. There's no justification in listing this recipe.

    I would bake it in a sheet pan to get more thinner hearts and slightly reduce calorie content. The picture looks like that's what was done or they cut the 9x12 horizontally. - 10/28/20

    I think you could remake this recipe into a healthier version; you could definitely omit the icing and use lowfat cream cheese and sugar free whipped cream combined to make the frosting, and honestly if you have a better chocolate cake mix recipe? Use that and add red food coloring. - 2/10/19

    I expect spark People to have recipes that are healthy--- A treat made with some whole grain flour or oatmeal and fruit (cherries of strawberries for Valentine's day) would be much healthier than this. The yogurt adds minimal nutrition; only 1 1/2 T. per serving of cake. Very high in sugar and fat - 2/9/19

    I must admit that the ingredients in this recipe made me a bit reluctant to try. Instead of the "can of frosting" I opted to use a yogurt substitute. - 1/25/18

    They look so delicious! I will look for a red velvet recipe that leans toward a healthier choice. However since I don't make them often I am going to enjoy them when I do make them HA! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone (and me!!) - 2/9/17
