Ingredients

Making a red velvet cake with beets is a fun and unique way to make this classic dessert. Beets give the cake a beautiful color and a slightly earthy flavor. Here are the ingredients you need to make this cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-3 small beets, cooked and pureed

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the oil and sugar, and mix until the sugar is dissolved. Add the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir until the batter is smooth. Finally, stir in the beet puree until fully incorporated.

Divide the batter evenly between the two pans, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once the cakes are done, let them cool in the pans for 15 minutes, and then turn them onto a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

This cake is delicious with cream cheese frosting, but you can use any frosting of your choice. To make the cream cheese frosting, in a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of softened butter, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 4 cups of powdered sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, and then spread onto the cooled cakes. Serve and enjoy!
