Dark Chocolate Beet Cake
Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can sliced beets, drained
- 2 large eggs
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 cup salted butter, melted
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 10-inch round cake pan.
- Puree beets in a food processor or blender until the consistency is smooth and no lumps remain. Add eggs and blend for a few seconds more.
- Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer. Mix in butter. Pour beet puree into the bowl while mixing on low speed to combine. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack and cooling completely.
