CHOCOLATE GLAZE FOR CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE
To create pretty, slow drips down the side of a cake, let the glaze cool slightly so it thickens a bit. This glaze is shown on Chocolate Beet Cake, but would complement any cake.

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. :)
