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 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
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.
