Chocolate Beet Cake

Something different… I made this for a “Unique Bake-Off” with our adult Sunday school classes.

Ingredient

16 oz.

unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1/2 cup

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray two 9″ round cake pans with nonstick spray and dust them lightly with cocoa powder. Set aside. Note: I used a fluted pan instead.

* Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, oil, sugars, and honey until thoroughly combined.

* Step 3

Add eggs and vanilla and stir to combine.

* Step 4

In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

* Step 5

Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir to combine.

* Step 6

Using an electric mixer, beat beets until smooth, add to mixture, mix well.

* Step 7

Pour batter into prepared cake pans and use a spatula to even out the top if needed.

* Step 8

Bake each cake (one at a time) for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in pan for 15-30 minutes, or until you feel comfortable touching the pan without oven mitts. Run a knife or thin spatula around the edges to loosen the cake from the pan, then carefully invert the cake pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely.
