Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) can sliced beets, drained
2 large eggs
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
½ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup salted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 10-inch round cake pan.
  • Puree beets in a food processor or blender until the consistency is smooth and no lumps remain. Add eggs and blend for a few seconds more.
  • Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer. Mix in butter. Pour beet puree into the bowl while mixing on low speed to combine. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack and cooling completely.
