Beet Chocolate Cake Recipe

Beet Chocolate Cake

From jo_jo_ba 17 years ago

My birthday cake and now our special occasion sweet... nonfat and low sugar! Adapted from a recipe at FatFree Vegan.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Oil or spray two 8- or 9-inch cake pans.
Put the drained beets into the food processor with 1/4 cup (clear) water, and process until pureed.
Put the pureed beets into a 2-cup measure. Add enough apple sauce to reach the 2-cup line.
Add the 2 tablespoons water, vanilla extract, and vinegar to the beets and mix well.
Mix the dry ingredients together, add the beet mixture and stir until well-combined.
Bake for 35 minutes Test by inserting a toothpick into the center; it's done when the toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.

Jo Jo I tried the cake it is very good but you were right it is a little heavy using the ingredients that I used, but it was still moist. I even made my icing from sugar free fat free choc mousse and it turned out good. Thanks for your help

all wheat flour yes, but it will be very dense. as for the splenda you can try but the result will be denser and possibly drier. Good luck!
