Beets in my bundt

I love unusual recipes. I came across this one when I was searching for ways to use six lovely, small beets I received in our farm share box.

My friend Meghan loaned me her crazy bundt pan last night and I got to work. The result? Deliciousness! Sam and I can't stop eating this thing.

Beet Bundt Cake - Submitted by Vermadel Kirby on Allrecipes.com.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
  • 2 cups pureed cooked beets
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • confectioners' sugar
Directions
In a mixing bowl, cream 3/4 cup butter and brown sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Melt chocolate with remaining butter; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Blend chocolate mixture, beets and vanilla into the creamed mixture (mixture will appear separated). Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Cool completely. Before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar.

Enjoy!

The true test is if I can get this past a certain someone, without letting him know there are beets aboard!

Can't wait to try it! xo Sis
