FUDGY CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE



Fudgy Chocolate Beet Cake image

You won't taste the pureed beets, but they make this cake extra-moist and fudgy, even with the addition of whole-grain spelt flour. They also play up the cake's full-bodied, not-too-sweet flavor. This recipe appears in our cookbook, "A New Way to Bake" (Clarkson Potter).

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 4h

Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium beets (1 1/2 pounds), trimmed, peeled, and cut into 2-inch chunks
1/4 cup safflower oil, plus more for pan
1 cup spelt flour, such as Bob's Red Mill
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups natural cane sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Cake: Place beets in a steamer basket set in a saucepan containing 2 inches of simmering water. Cover and steam until tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly, then puree in a food processor until smooth.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square or round cake pan with oil. Line bottom with parchment; brush parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in eggs, water, oil, vanilla, and 1 1/4 cups beet puree (reserve remaining puree for another use, refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days). Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until cake is set and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 20 minutes. Invert cake onto rack; let cool completely.
  • Chocolate-Ganache Frosting: Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat cream until just simmering. Pour cream over chocolate; let stand 10 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until thickened and spreadable, about 1 hour. Use immediately.
  • Place cake on a cake plate and spread evenly with frosting. Cake can be stored, covered, at room temperature up to 2 days.

SPICY CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE



Spicy Chocolate Beet Cake With Chocolate Glaze image

The beets give a nice tint to the batter and add alot of moisture to this cake. I got this recipe from "Best recipies from Timelife Books" This cake bakes up HUGE so don't worry if the top springs up alot. The top forms a crust and dosen't get ruined buy inverting to cool on a rack. I did have to pull off a couple of the edge pieces so I could get my knife around the pan to finally flip it. This is a REALLY filling cake so verry small pieces are reccomended. :)

CHOCOLATE GLAZE FOR CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE



Chocolate Glaze for Chocolate Beet Cake image

To create pretty, slow drips down the side of a cake, let the glaze cool slightly so it thickens a bit. This glaze is shown on Chocolate Beet Cake, but would complement any cake.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 15m

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon light corn syrup
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring heavy cream and corn syrup to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan. Pour over chocolate in a bowl, and let stand for 1 minute. Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is shiny and smooth. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the glaze will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering is a process of heating and cooling the chocolate in a controlled way. This makes the chocolate more stable and gives it a smooth, shiny finish.
  • Use a double boiler or heatproof bowl: This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Stir the glaze constantly: This will help to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • Let the glaze cool slightly before using: This will make it easier to apply to the cake.
  • If the glaze is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream: This will help to thin it out.
  • If the glaze is too thin, add a little bit of melted chocolate: This will help to thicken it up.

Conclusion:

Chocolate glaze is a delicious and versatile topping for cakes, cookies, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little practice, you can create a perfect chocolate glaze that will impress your friends and family.
