In a third bowl, beat the butter and sugar for 2 mins, until creamy. Beat the egg mixture and the butter mixture alternately into the flour mixture.

Spoon half the batter into 3 holes of the pan. Stir the cocoa powder and milk into the remaining batter and spoon into the remaining 3 holes. Bake for 35 mins, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 mins, then turn out on to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.

Spoon into 4 piping bags fitted with small, plain nozzles and decorate the cakes to look like wrapped gifts. Sprinkle with candy hearts and sprinkles and allow to dry. Dust with icing sugar.
