Chocolate Beet Snack Cake
Mix these ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
1C beet puree (can be made with canned beets in a food processor
with a small amount of added liquid)
1C applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cider vinegar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3-1/2C vegetable oil, more oil means a denser cake, so it's personal preference
Mix these ingredients thoroughly and then combine gently with the beet mixture:
1 1/2C whole wheat pastry flour (or half whole wheat and half all-purpose)
1/2C cocoa
1/2C sugar
1/2C brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Pour into a greased 13x9 pan and bake at 325 for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before cutting. Needs only a little sprinkling of powdered sugar for topping if you like.
Tip - try cutting moist cakes like this and brownies with a plastic knife. For some reason the cake or brownies are less apt to stick to the plastic knife, resulting in cleaner lines as you're cutting through.
