The days are shorter, the holidays are here, so I'm back cooking my blues away. I made this beet cake from tiger in a jar's video recipe I found over at designmom. It was a hit, and I loved the looks of shock when everyone discovered the chocolate cake was actually a beet cake.
You will want to watch this lovely recipe video, but here is a standard list of ingredients with my additions in parentheses:
Beet Cake
2 c. beets (pureed)
2 c. flour
1 1/2 dark brown sugar
4 oz. semisweet chocolate
2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt (kosher)
1 t. vanilla (Mexican)
1 c. butter
3 eggs
(dash powdered sugar)
(heavy cream whipped)
(mix ingredients together, bake for 30 minutes at 375)
(allow cake to cool, then dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream)
That beet cake is gorgeous!
