BEET CAKE



Beet Cake image

I found this recipe handwritten in my grandmother's well-worn cookbook. I've made it many times, and my four grandchildren love it (they think it's just a moist chocolate cake). It's especially appropriate for this contest because our state is known as the beet-growing capital.

Apple Stack Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: dried apple, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, water, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, large eggs, molasses, buttermilk, powdered sugar

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb dried apple
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups water
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ cup unsalted butter, 1 1/2 sticks, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup molasses
1 cup buttermilk
powdered sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the apple filling: Combine the dried apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a light boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes-1 hour, or until the apples are tender and have absorbed the liquid.
  • Mash the apples with a potato masher until no large chunks remain. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Make the cake: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs and molasses, and whisk until fully incorporated and the mixture is light brown.
  • Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and fold with a spatula until fully incorporated. Add half of the buttermilk and stir until fully combined. Continue alternating with the remaining flour and buttermilk, fully incorporating each addition before adding the next. The batter will be thicker than a traditional cake batter.
  • Chill the cake batter for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease as many 9-inch (22-cm) cake pans as you have and line with parchment paper.
  • Dump the cake batter onto a floured surface and dust with more flour. Pat into a rectangle, then divide into 5 equal pieces.
  • Transfer a piece of cake batter to a prepared pan and pat into an even layer. Bake for 12 minutes, until firm. Repeat with the remaining layers. Let cool completely.
  • To assemble, add a cake layer to a serving plate and top with a layer of apple filling. Spread evenly. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and filling.
  • Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and chill for 24 hours.
  • Dust the cake with powdered sugar, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

CELEBRATION SMASH CAKE



Celebration Smash Cake image

To me, when it comes to celebrating birthdays, there isn't such a thing as too many sprinkles. That's why I love this smash cake and birthday cake combo. I stir sprinkles into the batter AND decorate with sprinkles once the cakes are frosted. I love to use large confetti sprinkles to decorate the large cake.

Beet, Feta and Granny Smith Apple Salad image

This is a beautiful and delicious salad. This is also very nice and a bit milder served with Golden Delicious Apples.

Provided by Karens Krazy Kitchen

Categories     Apple

Time 1h5m

Yield 7 salads, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 -6 medium beets, about 1 1/2 lbs
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 granny smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 shallot, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
1/3 cup scallion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Steps:

  • Wash the beets, but do not peel.
  • Place in a very deep pot and cover with cold water until floating. Bring to a boil, cut back to a simmer and cook for about 40 minutes or until tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Note - Beets can be a bit messy and stain terribly. By using a very deep pot you won't have as much splattering.
  • While the beets are cooking, make the salad dressing by combining the ingredients above starting with the shallot and ending with the freshly ground pepper. Shake well.
  • Chop the red onion, slice the green apple, place them in a large bowl and toss with the salad dressing and the feta cheese.
  • When beets are done, cool, peel, cut in half and then slice thinly.
  • Toss with the apples, onion and cheese mixture.
  • Garnish with the scallions and dill.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Avocados from Mexico

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Avocados from Mexico

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium beets, scrubbed, leaves trimmed
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium ripe Avocado from Mexico
2 Granny Smith apples
Lemon juice, as needed
Salt and pepper
¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
½ cup crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons pine nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Wash and scrub the beets. Pat dry. Place on large piece of aluminum foil. Lightly coat with olive oil. Add dash of salt and pepper. For even roasting, wrap foil over, covering beets completely, and crimp ends. Roast until cooked through, 30 to 50 minutes. Remove, uncover and let cool. Do not discard oil in the foil; you can use this later as dressing.
  • Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit and skin. Place flat side down on cutting board. Slice horizontally. Squeeze lemon juice on to prevent browning. Cut Granny Smith same way, but leave skin on. Squeeze lemon juice on to prevent browning.
  • When the beets are cool enough to handle, slip their peels off using your fingers or a paring knife. Slice crosswise. Stack on plate alternating beets, apples and avocados. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over top. Garnish with parsley and pine nuts if desired. Drizzle the used olive oil from roasting and the rest of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh beets: Fresh beets will give the cake a more vibrant color and flavor.
  • Roast the beets before adding them to the batter: Roasting the beets will help to bring out their sweetness and earthy flavor.
  • Don't overcook the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: A cream cheese frosting will complement the earthy flavor of the cake perfectly.
