This Beets the Cake! image

Ok, I'll admit it: I did not tell my husband anything about the cake before serving it to him and asking for an opinion. His reaction? Tastes like cranberries! Melissa is so right - this is one delicious cake! We all liked the combination of flavors in this cake... Serve it with a wink and a nod. The beets can be our little...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 jar(s) (approx. 14oz) beets, undrained (Sweet & Sour Harvard Beets)
1/2 c butter, softened
1 1/4 c sugar
2 eggs
2 1/4 c self-rising flour
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c applesauce, unsweetened
NOTES: REGULAR BEETS WILL WORK JUST AS WELL.

Steps:

  • 1. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy then beat in eggs. Add cinnamon and nutmeg then applesauce and mix well. Add in the flour, a little at a time on low speed till well mixed.
  • 2. Puree the beets in a food processor or blender until smooth (or heat in the microwave till soft and mash them with a potato masher or use a standard mixer to beat them). Mix beets into batter till well blended.
  • 3. Pour batter into a lightly greased and floured 13 x 9 pan or bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake tests done.
  • 4. If you use a 13 x 9 pan, you can lightly ice the cake with store bought cream cheese frosting (just a glaze tastes best). If using a bundt pan you can glaze it or just sprinkle powdered sugar over it. Either way is yummy!

This cake is a bit dense, but it's still very good. I think it would be even better if it was frosted with a cream cheese frosting.

I was a bit hesitant to try this cake because I'm not a big fan of beets. But I'm so glad I did! It's really delicious.
