Ingredients

398 mL canned sliced beets, drained

1/4 cup beet cooking liquid or water

2/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce

2.5 oz low-fat silken tofu (Mori-Nu is what I used)

1 tbsp vanilla

1 tsp cider vinegar

2 tbsp liquid honey

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 cup cocoa

2/3 cup Splenda Granular

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

--------------

1 (3-oz) package Fat-Free Jell-O White Chocolate Pudding mix

1 cup cold water

1/4 tsp each blue and red food colouring (optional, but purple is so pretty)

1 cup Cool Whip Free, softened

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 F.

Lightly spray two 8" cake pans with PAM.

Put the drained beets into the food processor with beet liquid (or water), applesauce, tofu, vanilla, vinegar and honey. Process until very smooth.

Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Pour in the beet mixture and stir until well-combined.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Cool on a rack 1 hour before frosting.

----Frosting----

Whisk together pudding mix, water and food colouring until smooth.

Pour pudding mix into softened Cool Whip, folding in until incorporated.

Chill 30 minutes before frosting cake.

I have heard of using beets in chocolate cake, this sounds good except for the Splenda and the food coloring- all that can be altered, I'm interested in this and would like to make it soon- I will try it out on my husband and let you know, I'm already guessing my son will like it he eats anything that doesn't have onions in it.
