Yes, we know, January was rough. With so many unfortunate events that transpired, 31 days felt like a year (or three). Amid all these bad news popping up our newsfeed, it helps—even a little—to have a little sweetness to counter the bitterness. After all, it’s the month of love.

Strawberry chocolate cake
Two of the most complementary flavors come together in Andrew Café’s Valentine cake.
