Beet Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Prepare cupcake pan and line with cupcake liners.
• Add the uncooked beet, buttermilk, lemon juice, and extracts to a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until very smooth.
• Sift the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Beat the sugar, and butter together in a large bowl until creamy, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing for 30 seconds after each addition.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture and beet mixture to the bowl, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Divide between the cups and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Cool the cupcakes on a rack for 20 minutes then invert onto the rack to cool completely. Once cupcakes are cool, snip off the tip of the plastic bag and squeeze out icing onto the cupcakes.
• FROSTING.
• 10 ounces of cream cheese (such as Philadelphia), room temperature.
• ¼ cup of pure maple syrup.

Steps:

• For the cake:.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a food processor, mix the sugar with the eggs, oil, yogurt, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla. Add flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Blend until just incorporated. Place paper cupcake liners into a muffin pan, and divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, pouring only halfway so the batter doesn't overflow. Bake, rotating halfway through, for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the cupcakes and let cool.
• For the icing:.
• In a bowl, beat the mascarpone, icing sugar, cream, and lemon zest together until the mixture is smooth. Spoon a dollop of mascarpone cream on the cupcakes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wash beets and wrap in aluminum foil. Bake until the tip of a knife slides easily into the largest beet, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool until beets can be handled, then peel. (This may be done up to a day ahead.)
• Butter two 9-inch cake pans. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment and then butter again.
• In a food processor, chop beets to pieces about the size of finely diced onions. Measure 1 cup and set aside (remaining beets can be reserved for another purpose). Return cup of beets to the food processor. Purée with buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar and vanilla until smooth.
• Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter until soft. Slowly add sugar and beat until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
• Alternate adding flour mixture and beet mixture to butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, and beating for 10 seconds after each addition. Scrape down the bowl after each addition of the wet ingredients.
• Divide batter between prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the cake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove pans from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
• To assemble, remove one cake from its pan and peel away parchment. Place flat side down on a serving platter. Drop about 1 cup of icing onto cake and, using a flat spatula, spread evenly over top. Remove the second cake from its pan and remove parchment. Place flat side down on top of first layer. Use remaining frosting to cover top and sides of cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
• Sift flour and baking powder together in a large bowl.
• Whisk sugar, buttermilk, beets, oil, eggs, cocoa powder, red food coloring, vanilla extract, vinegar, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add flour mixture gradually to the bowl, stirring after each addition just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan. Tap pan firmly to settle the batter and remove large bubbles.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake liners.
• Stir soy milk and apple cider vinegar together in a large bowl. Let stand until curdled, about 5 minutes. Mix in applesauce, oil, beet juice, and vanilla extract.
• Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to remove lumps. Pour in soy milk mixture; stir until batter is just combined.
• Fill each cupcake liner 3/4 full with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Remove from the tins and place on wire racks until completely cool.
