Chocolate Beetroot cake

 

I made this delicious chocolate beetroot cake using this video recently, we LOVE it.  I used less sugar and some whole wheat flour in place of some of the white flour.  I like that it uses cocoa powder instead of fattier chocolate. I have already made this twice, out of beets now!

1 1/2 c sugar (I used 1 c)

1 1/4 med beets boiled and mashed

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 c oil

3 eggs

1 1/2 c flour (I used 1c white 1/2c ww)

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

6 tbs cocoa powder

grease and flour a 9 inch baking pan

in a medium bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, mix well

in a larger bowl, mix baking soda, cocoa, salt, flour

add beet mix, mix well, pour into baking pan

bake 25-30 min at 350F

can spread icing when cooled if preferred
