SPICY CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE
The beets give a nice tint to the batter and add alot of moisture to this cake. I got this recipe from "Best recipies from Timelife Books" This cake bakes up HUGE so don't worry if the top springs up alot. The top forms a crust and dosen't get ruined buy inverting to cool on a rack. I did have to pull off a couple of the edge pieces so I could get my knife around the pan to finally flip it. This is a REALLY filling cake so verry small pieces are reccomended. :)

Tips:
- To make the perfect chocolate glaze, use high-quality dark chocolate. This will give your glaze a rich, decadent flavor.
- Make sure your chocolate is finely chopped before adding it to the hot cream. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.
- Bring the cream just to a simmer before pouring it over the chocolate. Do not boil the cream, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
- Stir the chocolate and cream mixture constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- If your glaze is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or cream.
- If your glaze is too thin, you can thicken it up by adding a little bit of powdered sugar.
- Let the glaze cool slightly before using it. This will help it to set properly.
- Chocolate glaze can be used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts.

Chocolate glaze is a delicious and versatile way to finish off your favorite desserts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a glaze that is rich, decadent, and beautiful.
