1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 eggs

1 tbsp vanilla

2 tbsp red food colouring

1 tbsp pure beet juice

2 tbsp water

1/4 cup cocoa, sifted

1 1/4 cups flour

1 cup Kamut flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup low-fat buttermilk

1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease two round 9" cake pans.

Cream sugars, butter and applesauce until fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.

Make a paste of the food colouring, beet juice, water and cocoa powder, scrape into above mixture and beat well.

Whisk together flours and salt in a separate bowl.

Add dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture.
