Now add in flour, baking powder and salt and fold gently. Add in milk and fold gently.

Divide the batter between 6 bowls and add one food colouring in each one and mix well. Now spoon this into the loaf pan and use a skewer to make swirls on it.

Now bake this in oven for 45 mins to 1 hour till the cake is done. Remove it and cool down completely. Now slice this into pieces and cut out heart shape using this. Put this in fridge for 30 mins to 1 hour or so.
