"DON'T KNOCK IT UNTIL YOU TRY IT" BEET CAKE!!



Yes, this cake is made with beets! And you won't believe how great it is. I got the recipe from a friend who said it is the most requested cake in her family. Even the kids want it for their birthday cake. I baked it for one of our family gatherings and now, I get lots of requests for it too. The batter looks red, but the red bakes out. I use an almond flavored frosting on it sometimes. Other times I just serve it with homemade whipped cream.

COUNTY FAIR GRAND CHAMP CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE



County Fair Grand Champ Chocolate Beet Cake image

I found this many years ago, made and entered it in our County Fair and won Grand Champion. I sent it to Gooseberry Publication as well and got published in one of their dessert cookbooks. The first time I made it, I kept everyone out of the kitchen so they wouldn't see the beets or they never would have tried it. This is so moist and chocolatey, really yummy. Hope you try and enjoy.

GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE

This is super moist and I promise you that you won't feel like you're eating a vegetable! I've included Grandma's old fashioned boiled frosting, but buttercream frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar is also good.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 9x13 pan, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/8 cups oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups beets, cooked and mashed
3 1/2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup milk
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 drops almond extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the dry ingredients then add remaining ingredients, mixing until smooth.
  • Bake in a greased 9x13 pan at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, until center is firm.
  • Cool then frost if desired.
  • To make frosting:.
  • In a saucepan, mix the flour in a little of the milk till smooth, then add the remaining milk. Cook over a slow fire until thick, 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir briskly-this has a tendency to get lumpy!
  • Remove from heat, stir in the salt and cool thoroughly in the refrigerator. This needs to be very cold.
  • Beat in the butter until well creamed. Add the vanilla and almond extract and the powdered sugar. Beat with electric mixer until thick and creamy.

29 AWARD WINNING CAKE RECIPES TO WIN THE BLUE RIBBON AT THE FAIR

From morningchores.com
  • Lemon Cake. My mind has been on a lemon cake for a while now. The idea of a light and airy cake, giving you both sweet and natural flavors sounds delicious.
  • Shirley Temple Cake. Still having the natural flavors on my mind, I think this recipe looks delicious. I like the cherries and the fact that there is no actual icing, instead, they have a sugarcoating overtop the cake.
  • Triple Chocolate Poke Cake. Venturing away from the natural and on to the sweet, decadent flavor of chocolate. I think this cake sounds delicious and I like the idea of the moistness you know it’s going to have since it is a poke cake.
  • Healthy Vanilla Maple Greek Yogurt Cake. Going back to something quite a bit lighter, I think this would win simply because it is flavorful but still light.
  • Texas Sheet Cake. Texas sheet cake cookies were one of the winners this year at our fair. I understand why, as Texas sheet cake is very delicious and it has the name of Texas in it.
