== Procedures ==
=== Cake ===
# For cake, preheat oven to 275&nbsp;°F.
# Grease and flour a 6-inch heart shaped cake pan.
# In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with an electric mixer), cream butter, sugars and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy, scraping down sides often.
# Add egg and yolk, beating well.
# Sift together flour and salt.
# In a separate bowl combine sour cream and baking soda.
# Add flour and sour cream alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the flour.
# Scrape cake batter into prepared pan.
# Bake for 20 minutes at 275&nbsp;°F, then turn up oven to 325&nbsp;°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clear.
# For caramel glaze, bring sugar, corn syrup and water up to a boil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
# Boil without stirring, brushing the sides of the pan occasionally with a brush dipped in water.
# Cook for about 10 minutes, until sugar turns an amber colour.
# Remove from heat and whisk in cream, taking care as it will steam.
# Allow to cool, then chill until ready to use.
# For coconut garnish, peel off outer husk of coconut and peel shavings with a vegetable peeler.
# Spread onto a parchment-lined baking tray and bake in a 350&nbsp;°F oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
# To assemble, slice heart cake in half and spread with caramel (if caramel has is too firm, heat in microwave), sprinkle with a few coconut shavings and top with second cake layer.
# Pour caramel over entire cake, spreading it with a spatula so that all of the cake is covered.
# Press coconut shavings onto sides of cake and chill until ready to serve.

# Whip cream to soft peaks and fold in.
