FUDGY CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE
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).

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.

CHOCOLATE BEET BUNDT CAKE WITH BEET GLAZE - A BEAUTIFUL PLATE
From abeautifulplate.com
- Prepare the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (Celsius) with a rack in the center position. Generously grease a 10-inch bundt pan with baking spray and set aside. Drain the beets, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons of the liquid. In a small food processor, puree the beets until very smooth. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the beet puree for the glaze and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. In a stand mixer bowl, fitted with whisk attachment, combine the sugar, oil, and eggs. Beat at medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Add the beet puree, cooled melted chocolate, and vanilla extract. Beat at medium speed for 30 seconds or until smooth. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture, allowing it to incorporate fully with each addition. Scrape down the bottom of the bowl to ensure all of the ingredients are incorporated evenly.
- Transfer the batter to the greased bundt pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 to 55 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 1o to 15 minutes. Invert and allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, reserved beet puree, and roughly 1 teaspoon of the canned beet juice. If the glaze is too thick, add an additional teaspoon of beet juice at a time until the glaze is thin enough to drizzle from a spoon. Drizzle the cooled cake with the glaze in a zigzag motion (or in one layer). Allow the glaze to set before slicing. Cake can be wrapped well and stored at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
