When completely cool, carefully move cake to a flat dish and spread cashew nut ""icing"" on top & sides. If you desire, you may decorate with fresh strawberries and crushed pineapple (make sure to drain the pineapple well).", "", "Note: This cake may be made in a heart-shaped pan, but will have to remain in oven for 40 minutes.

When completely cool, keeping cakes inverted, cut circle cake in half and place each half of circle on connected sides of the square cake, making a heart shape.
