Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium beets
1 cup butter
4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Place beets in a pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes. Remove skin and puree beets in a blender or food processor.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add unsweetened chocolate and stir until melted. Set aside to cool.
  • Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Beat sugar and eggs together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add the melted chocolate, beets, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
  • Stir the flour mixture and chocolate chips into the beet mixture just until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a fork inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

This cake was a bit too sweet for me, but I think it would be perfect for someone with a sweet tooth.

This cake was a hit! It was moist and chocolatey, with a hint of sweetness from the beets. I loved the cream cheese frosting, which was the perfect complement to the cake.
