This dessert may not look pink, but pink beets are the secret ingredient that make it extra sweet and moist. And you’d never even guess they were there!
What you need:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups packed dark brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 2 cups cooked beets, pureed in blender
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Icing sugar
- Bundt pan
- An adult assistant to help you with this recipe
What you do:
- Have your assistant preheat oven to 375°.
- Spray Bundt pan with non stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
- Combine ¾ cup of butter with brown sugar.
- Add eggs and mix well.
- Melt chocolate and remaining butter and combine with pureed beets.
- Add beet mixture and vanilla to butter and brown sugar. Mix well.
- Fold into flour mixture and mix well.
- Pour batter into pan and bake for 45 – 55 minutes
- Let cool for 10 minutes before turning out and sprinkling with a light dusting of icing sugar.
that cake looks uberdelicious!
Some cakes use applesauce to replace sugar. But you can taste the applesauce, and applesauce and chocolate don’t particularly go well together!
We usually replace the OIL with applesauce, not the sugar. But you’re right about the apple flavor coming through even with the chocolate. Still it’s pretty good.
Oooh, yummy! I love chocolate cake, but it’s even better with peanut butter chips inside! Now that’s a ggod cake! ;)
Eww…and yum. At the same time. What did it taste like dragonfly1863??

Hey, what do you do if you get the I dream in pink CD cover from Molly? I can’t sell it, and I’d totally be in so much trouble if I took the download. I’m not allowed to by my parents, and neither me, nor my cousins want it
I would just put it in a room! ;-)
You can’t put it in the room without taking the download, because it’s a gift object. The moment you put it in the room, it pops up the notice, and if you refuse the download, it goes straight back in the dock
Isnt beet a veggitable? you cont have a veggie in cake. thats just my opinion.

You could just keep it in your dock. Thats what I do with things that I trade or just don’t want to put in my room. Anyways…. I think this cake sounds great. I luv chocoate. :lol:
*Luv from LillyLuvie*

How come your parents won’t let you download it?

At first, when I saw beets in here, I was like, YUCK! I mean, I like beets, but not in CAKE! But the cake actually looks good. Guess what? For Breast-Cancer Awareness Month, I’m going 2 make and sell ThinkPink bracelets . The campaign start 2morrow. Wish me luck! :)

It looks good but i’m not a big fan of the beets
Sorry, I see now. I have the Persian Cat one. I just ignore it! ;-)
Persian cat makes me cry. :( :cry: But it’s a great song. :) The last time we downloaded anything, a terrible virus -destroyed Northwestern’s computer. It’s locked up so even though you can still use it, it will never work properly again. Before we came to her city, she lived with no kids in her neighborhood for five years. That computer was her only friend
I got the I dream in pink thing too. I took it, and it still wont go away. ;-)
Here are some pink ideas:
1. If you are a girl and have braces pick the colors light pink and dark pink!
2. See if your school will/does a Pink all Day. Wear a pink shirt, bracelets etc.
3. Try to find healthy snacks that are pink! Like a strawberry smoothie! :)
oh sorry so sad i forgot my signature.

Beets?! That makes that cake moist? Whoa… but in one of my cake recipes I’ve printed before, the cake needs mayonnaise to keep it moist, but thankfully, you can’t taste it! :)
