Chocolate Beet Cake
Fresh beets give chocolate cake a wonderful dense, moist texture that is unmistakably beet-flavored (pun intended).
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 9×13-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.
