Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan and an 8-inch round pan. Line bottoms with parchment or wax paper. Grease paper and dust lightly with flour.
- Beat white sugar, butter, vanilla, and almond extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until well combined.
- Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in another bowl.
- Beat 1 cup dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Add 1/2 cup milk; beat until combined. Continue adding 1 cup dry ingredients and 1/2 cup milk, beating after each addition, until all are used and batter is smooth. Divide evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on racks.
- Beat butter and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating after each addition and adding milk as needed, until frosting is fluffy, smooth, and spreadable.
- Remove 1/3 cup frosting and divide between 2 small bowls. Tint 1 dark pink with red food coloring. Tint the other orange-pink with red and yellow food coloring. Tint remaining frosting light pink with red food coloring.
- Set square cake on a work surface and rotate 45 degrees so that it resembles a diamond. Spread a little light pink frosting on left and right top sides of the diamond. Cut round cake in half crosswise to make 2 half-moons. Attach half-moons to top left and top right sides of diamond, gently pressing cake pieces together to adhere. Spread remaining light pink frosting over the assembled cake. Drop spoonfuls of dark pink and pink-orange frosting onto cake. Drag an offset spatula through frosting to create a marbled look.
- Pat sprinkles onto the sides of the cake. Chill, covered, for up to 3 days. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before slicing into 16 pieces.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottoms of an 8-inch round and an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper; lightly coat the bottom and sides of each pan with cooking spray.
- Beat granulated sugar, oil and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until just incorporated. Beat in vanilla.
- Whisk together pastry flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl until blended. With the mixer running on medium-low speed, add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating just until combined after each addition and stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Divide the batter between the prepared pans.
- Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes; turn out onto wire racks and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and milk with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- To assemble the cake, place the square cake on a platter in a diamond position. Cut the round cake in half crosswise, creating 2 perfect half-moon shapes. Position the halves on the 2 top sides of the square, forming a heart shape. Spread the frosting over the top of the cake just to the edges, leaving the sides unfrosted. Place raspberries along the outside edges to outline the cake.
