Red Velvet Cake with Beets image

After reading about the history of the popular red velvet cake, I wanted to try the version with beets. It has a beautiful color and tastes divine with or without frosting. This recipe makes one sheet cake, a 2-layer cake, cupcakes, or even cake pops.

BEET RED VELVET CAKE



Beet Red Velvet Cake image

Pamela Moxley, the pastry chef at Miller Union in Atlanta, developed this cake as part of a book project for Steven Satterfield, the co-owner and chef. She uses dutched, nonacidic cocoa powder so she punched up the acid with extra lemon juice, which helps with the bright red color. She adds goat cheese to her cream cheese frosting, to play against the subtle beet flavor. The chef liked it so much that he added it to the restaurant menu.

Time 2h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 medium beets
3/4 cup/ 170 grams butter, plus more for greasing pan
3/4 cup/180 milliliters buttermilk
Juice of 1 large lemon
2 teaspoons/10 milliliters white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons/7 milliliters vanilla extract
2 cups/200 grams cake flour (sift before measuring)
3 tablespoons/24 grams Dutch process cocoa powder
1 1/8 teaspoon/6 grams baking powder
1 teaspoon/6 grams salt
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams baking soda
1 3/4 cup/350 grams granulated sugar
3 eggs
Cream cheese frosting (see recipe), or other fluffy white icing

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wash beets and wrap in aluminum foil. Bake until the tip of a knife slides easily into the largest beet, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool until beets can be handled, then peel. (This may be done up to a day ahead.)
  • Butter two 9-inch cake pans. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment and then butter again.
  • In a food processor, chop beets to pieces about the size of finely diced onions. Measure 1 cup and set aside (remaining beets can be reserved for another purpose). Return cup of beets to the food processor. Purée with buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar and vanilla until smooth.
  • Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter until soft. Slowly add sugar and beat until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
  • Alternate adding flour mixture and beet mixture to butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, and beating for 10 seconds after each addition. Scrape down the bowl after each addition of the wet ingredients.
  • Divide batter between prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the cake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove pans from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • To assemble, remove one cake from its pan and peel away parchment. Place flat side down on a serving platter. Drop about 1 cup of icing onto cake and, using a flat spatula, spread evenly over top. Remove the second cake from its pan and remove parchment. Place flat side down on top of first layer. Use remaining frosting to cover top and sides of cake.

THE REAL RED VELVET CAKE



The Real Red Velvet Cake image

Historically, red velvet cake was just chocolate cake tinted red from the acid in cocoa powder, not from food coloring. Nowadays most cocoa powders are alkalized, as in stripped of acid. Look for a non-alkalized one for this old-fashioned recipe. Completing the classic look is a coat of bright white ermine frosting, cooked the old-fashioned way.

Time 3h25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups cake flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ¾ cups brown sugar
1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 cup whole milk
½ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C). Line the bottoms of three 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper. Spray the sides with cooking spray.
  • Sift all-purpose flour, cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Microwave buttermilk just until warm, about 30 seconds. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Beat brown sugar and butter together in a bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly before each addition. Blend in the flour mixture and buttermilk in 3 additions until fully combined. Let mixer run on low for 5 minutes. Distribute the cake batter between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center the cakes comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes in the pans. Turn cakes out and let cool completely on a wire rack, at least 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, whisk sugar, milk, flour, and salt together in a medium saucepan for the frosting. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to simmer, about 10 minutes. Pour into a medium bowl and chill for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Beat butter until smooth, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the milk and flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, beating in between each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Level the cake layers before assembling the cake. Scoop about 2/3 cup of frosting onto the first layer and spread into an even layer. Repeat with the second and third cake layers. Frost the outsides of the cake with thin layer of frosting to catch any crumbs and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Finish frosting the cake with remaining frosting. Cut and serve.

Yield 1 cake, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, to grease baking pans
1 1/4 cups finely chopped red beets
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch kosher salt

2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 lbs cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • FOR THE CAKE:.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Begin by lightly greasing tins with butter (oven proof ramekins or cocotte dishes work well). Peel beets and cut into pieces so they can fit comfortably in a food processor.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. In a separate bowl, mix molasses, eggs, buttermilk, oil and sugar together. Now mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients and then fold in the processed beets.
  • Place cake tins on a roasting tray. Divide batter amongst tins and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until they have puffed up and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool and then frost with cream cheese frosting, layering the cakes on top of each other.
  • FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:.
  • Using a kitchen mixer, combine cream cheese and butter until blended and you have a smooth, light texture. Add the vanilla, lemon zest and powdered sugar and beat until combined. Continue to beat until smooth and glossy - about 7 minutes.
