WOW a beet cake!Sounds great! Got my 5


Incredibly moist and with great depth of flavor. wonderful post.


Made a chocolate zucchini cake to die for last summer, think I'll be making chocolate beet this summer! thanks for the idea henrie!


This looks great and I'd love to make it. Could you tell me, will this cake be red or are the beets just for moistness?


Sorry but I put my comment in the wrong box. It sounds like a wonderful recipe.


I made this recipe today in mini bundt cake form and it's fantastic. I highly recommend it! Thanks for sharing.


The baking directions have got to be wrong! When I made this cake I had to bake it for 35 minutes. When I tested it after 20 minutes it was mush. (I used 2 8 inch cake pans). Also it was not very chocolately. I will not use this recipe again.

I never had this but it sounds wonderful.


Specific ingredients I used: brown sugar for the cake. Roasted the beets in advance, removing the surface skin before dicing. Canola oil for salad oil. Good quality semi-sweet chocolatier-style chocolate for the cake.
