I love this cake sooo much! I have made it for my daughter’s birthday the last two years (her 4th and, at her request, her 5th). No one could taste the beets other than it’s more moist than most chocolate cakes. One of my friends is a baker by trade & she raved about it. I use a cream cheese frosting w/ the beet powder to make it pink. Delish! Thank you!

Becky, I haven’t tried it as a layer cake, but try doubling the recipe to put in 2 (10″) or 3 (9″) cake pans at 375 degrees F. My guess is to start checking 9″ cakes at 35/40 minutes and 10″ cakes at 60 minutes.

Any suggestions for adjusting timing to make this into a layer cake? I would love to make it for my daughter’s birthday.

I had these at a friend’s party last night… do NOT taste like beets, (I was stunned when she told me the secret ingredient) just like rich, luscious chocolate cupcakes.

Outstanding!

I love cupcakes but am scared of beets! I showed this recipe to my husband and he’s wanting to try it out. My family loves Red Velvet cake but I really don’t like the idea of feeding them red food dyes. This recipe seems like a great alternative!

I don’t mind if I do!

I will be making this recipe asap. It looks great and as was noted beets are especially good for you. My wife loves purple, as do I so the blueberry and beet powder will be great. Her parents will flip!!

I couldn’t find beet powder near me so I used 1T of reserved liquid from cooking beets and got great pale pink color without changing consistency. I have made these twice in as many weeks.
