List of Ingredients




3 Ounces Unsweetened Chocolate -- chopped
1 Can Julienne Beets -- (8 1/4 oz)
1 Stick Unsalted Butter -- softened
2 1/2 Cups Light Brown Sugar
3 Large Eggs -- at room temperature
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
2 Cups Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Buttermilk


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 2 8-inch cake pans.

Melt chocolate in double boiler over hot water. Set aside to cool
slightly. Drain beet juice into small bowl. Chop beets into very small
pieces (can do in food processor). Add to beet juice and set aside.

Beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until very fluffy -- about 5
minutes. Beat in chocolate. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Alternately beat flour in fourths and buttermilk in thirds into chocolate
mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until incorporated, about
1 minute. Add beets and juice and mix until blended.

Pour batter into pans and bake 30-35 minutes. Do not overbake or cakes
will be dry. Cool on wire racks 10 minutes, then invert on racks. When
cool, frost.
