Cake Ingredients

Method

Baking Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and beet puree until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gradually stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Cakes

    Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
