For those who say beets are a new, trendy food item, I had a chocolate beet cake at my wedding 7 1/2 years ago. Everyone raved about it, and no one could taste the beets, it was just slightly richer and earthier, like when you add coffee to chocolate cake. It just bumps up the richness of the cocoa, and makes it increasingly moist. I will absolutely be making this cake for my next anniversary!

My grandmother's cookbook from the 40s had a chocolate beet 🎂 recipe.💥

[@marywilliams9415]

Made this recipe for a family party this weekend. Turned out really well. I stuck to the given ingredients but cooked it in a loaf tin and layered the ganache (made with butter instead of cream) in the middle as it had to travel. Served sliced with strawberries and clotted cream. Thank you very much for the tutorial.

[@LiaCooper]

i'm not a fan of beets, but your beet chips as a cake garnish have me intrigued!

[@pippaduarte]

I love this recipe, cannot wait to recreate it 😍😍😍, my kids love beets so this may be they’re new favorite desert!

[@jamesrichardson8379]

I'm a fan of anything with beets. This looks delicious.

[@Rabbittomaru]

Miss Sarah, it's been a while since the last time I saw your episode. And now, I see you for the first time, 😍 You dyed great your hair, you look magnificent. 💐😊

[@VarongTangkitphithakphon]

oh my gosh Sarah! This is what I looking for!!

[@enoms7873]

Great recipe- thank youuuuu

[@shabanahyatt8350]

Looks delicious 😋

[@susangriffiths6107]

Looks really moist, good eating. The cake does have a tinge of purple/red to it though, if only slightly.

[@semco72057]

I bet that cake is very delicious and even though I have never eaten a beet cake before I would love to have some and may try making it at home.

[@natalialopes719]

Am Going to make this!!

[@ansuyasenghani8632]

It's amazing 🎂i just love beet in it😇

[@michellelloyd6256]

First, I LOVE your hair. Second, i LOVE your kitchen. And lastly, I LOVE this cake

[@miguelshakira7]

Thank you Sarah! This is a great recipe for people with hormonal disorders.

[@mariamkamal]

Splendid. I am a beet girl, I love making beet salad with sesame seeds , beet and sweet potato soup, vibrant homemade purple pasta, beet and strawberry smoothie, and even beet jam; so I think i must give this awesome cake a try

[@helpfulnatural]

Me too! I love raw beets, especially in my smoothies! :)

[@loridennis2989]

Aw, beet it! Lol!

[@MoniMakutami]

Dwight Schrute would be proud

[@camismith5338]

Lolol

[@loridennis2989]

Dwight is a dumbass!

[@TheDevilDarling]

I love beets, even if I don't make the cake I am definitely going to try those beet chips 😍

[@ChrisCupcake3]

Can't wait to try this. What about using white chocolate or vanilla (instead of chocolate) to bring out the color of the beets? & do you think beets would do well in a red velvet cake? Or too sweet?

[@safieht5299]

Looks so good. Thanks. By the way I like your hair, it is cute.

[@KristiContemplates]

Thanks

[@rassoronmore8931]

Looks so good! Was wondering of the best way to to cook the beets? Steam them or just put them in a pan with a little bit of water?

[@GaryT1952]

I watch these episodes just for the delightful Miss Sarah

[@KumaBun]

If only I could be so bold to changed up my hair color like Sarah. BTW, this looks like a fabulous dish! :)

[@jessicataylor3180]

gorgeous cake 💗 caution: beets and beet juice will stain countertops, clothing, and some baking tools so keep that in mind.

[@TheDevilDarling]

I learnt this the hard way 🤣 fortunately my chopping boards are treated wood so I could sand all red staining away and retreat it.

[@adrianwatson8398]

Dwight would love this

[@agnestong7853]

Hi, can i use just 1/2 cup of sugar for this recipe?

[@F9mhk]

There is actually 1/2 cup of beets left in the process. So you might want to say “1 1/2- 2 cups of beets depending on how you scrape your food processor”

[@angko-pe]

This looks so good. I'm curious if anyone can tell me why, whenever I made beet bread, the dough is really pink when it goes in the oven but as it bakes the bread goes white, like white bread white. Why does the pink get cooked out?

[@eudjir2921]

Can I use Almond meal instead of flour ??

[@marvissmith4588]

I was hoping that the beet color would be more pronounced. I still want to try it. Seems much better than all that food coloring in the red velvet cake.

[@mounianaimi1430]

Love your new hair color😁

[@shuningchew8551]

could i replace the cocoa powder with chocolate ?

[@Protocurity]

2 cups of flour 1 1/2 cups of sugar 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4th cup cacao powder 3/4th tsp salt Whisk 2 large eggs 3/4ths cup warm water 1/4th cup of oil 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/4th cup beetroot puree Cook for 45 minutes at 350 fahrenheit Glaze: 1/2 cup of cream simmering 3/4th tsp corn syrup 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate beet chips (not specified) Personally I'm going to try the recipe with either butter or coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. I'm trying to cut seed oils out of my diet.

[@Defined4hispurpose]

You might think I'm lying when I say this but you look younger, prettier and fresh with your gray not to say you were not pretty before but you look great. Thanks for your videos love them on pbs TV

[@isabellelaval7294]

I totally agree!

[@loridennis2989]

Do you guys watch for the hair or the recipes? 🙄

[@Defined4hispurpose]

@@loridennis2989 The videos. Lol I get it, i watched a few others and just said it. It is about the videos but I thought her hair looked nice and shared. Thanks for your reply ...(no sarcasm) have a blessed weekend.

[@lisaboban]

This looks interesting and very delicious! If you're like me and find the idea of candied beet chips intriguing, the link for the recipe is here: www.marthastewart.com/857643/candied-beet-chips

[@mariaheximer7725]

If I don’t have corn syrup for the sauce, what other option do I have

[@leftpanap]

You can leave it out as it’s only make the ganache to look shiny, nothing else. If you have golden syrup you can use that instead.

[@MsScorpyscorp]

In couple of days from now im most certainly making this cake with the ganache...but without the beet chips. I don't get golden beets in my country 😩 That beet coloured Kitchen Aid in the background could have been used to make the batter. Just saying 😋

[@nicolesvrcinova1482]

you can use regular red beets for the chips, those would also give you a beautiful pink sugar syrup!

[@MsScorpyscorp]

@@nicolesvrcinova1482 But against the ganache...it would not be as "lit and bright" as these golden ones 😔 but thank you for the tip 😃

[@nicolesvrcinova1482]

@@MsScorpyscorp Try a farmers market, sometimes they have pink and white striped beets, though you probably won't find them at this time of year. In my area, those are usually on offer during summer months, probably because they aren't as hardy. they are also super easy to grow, even in a container, if you want a fun project :-P

[@TheDevilDarling]

@@nicolesvrcinova1482 I think the pink/white striped beets are called Chioggia beets, they are so pretty! They would look beautiful as a garnish when they come into season.

[@jonathanshaw4559]

Would it still taste good if one used fresh beets? Does it have to be pickled beets?

[@leftpanap]

I don’t know if they check the channel anymore as it does look abandoned, however I would recommend you to use just cooked beetroot. Pickled will be sour and might affect the flavor. Raw beetroot it’s firm and might not give a nice texture. Hope that helped :)

[@sanjayhoebeb787]

Osm recipe my inspirational chef... Sarah is getting old in cooking beautiful..... ❤😂❤😄

[@cooldudeyo06]

I think I had a brain aneurysm reading this

[@sanjayhoebeb787]

What?

[@gloriakadar3288]

I love beets.

[@Gagata93]

How about using natural instead of dutch processed cacao + a bit of acidity in a cake? It should give it a red hue - that's after all how originally red velvet became red without any colorants :)

[@23andrelopes]

I love beetroot but I won't do this cake because I am scared of not being able to stop eating it!!!

[@bilgeb.9567]

Do you think I can use rice flour instead of all purpose flour? I have a friend who is allergic to flour, so I'm always on the search for recipes without flour.

[@ngs5554]

Bilge B. Buy gluten free flour, plain rice flour won't work. Perhaps a mix of almond and coconut flour will work, but research the quantities.

[@helpfulnatural]

That beet pulp would make a fantastic swap out for all the red food coloring in red velvet cake. :)

[@Elkycreates]

Thinking the same thing but the cake is not red in this case. You wouldn’t think there were beets in it.

[@helpfulnatural]

@@Elkycreates That's because of the amount of chocolate in the recipe. Red Velvet cake as a very small amount of cocoa powder compared to the recipe in this video.

[@allangoodger969]

What I can't understand is why not use self raising flower. Best place for beetroot is on a hamburger. But then again I'm an Aussie.

[@shaaz215]

Shud try this replacing the cocoa powder wid al purpose flour and wud lyk to see the red pink cake...

[@dogukan7406]

Such a lovely woman ❤

[@sammyjocatlady7551]

Is this like chocolate potato cake?

[@misschristiner]

Can you use canned beets?

[@nicolesvrcinova1482]

aren't those usually in vinegar brine? That would affect the final taste. Where I live, you can buy vacuum packed boiled beets in most supermarkets, try that instead if possible, if you don't want to cook them fresh.

[@misschristiner]

Nicole Svrčinová ohh yeah we can buy vacuum packed beets here too. I didn’t consider that so thanks for the suggestion!!

[@kelliweiss9431]

hey Sarah, i love seeing/watching u be so non chalant with your very unruly, but cute hair! anyway, baking beets is too difficult, so may i use canned/jarred beets instead?? thx, :): kelli

[@haldulegauri2111]

Looks awesome. Can't wait to prepare it!! But we are vegans. Can you please give a substitute for eggs?

[@violamckar8585]

Use applesauce 1/4 cup or a egg replacement. Theirs plenty out their but I prefer redmill... Good luck.. 🤣🤣

[@ioannaa0]

you can make a chia or a flax egg by mixing 1 tbs of ground flax/chia seeds with 3 tbs water and set aside for 10-15 minutes.

[@juanbrito-nina2877]

That is a sexy lookin cake!

[@somruethaipiasanit1361]

beet puree like a Kochujang hahaha

[@lranney5337]

Ah, I wish this were gluten free

[@sandramorales6647]

I thought you need to add something acidic so that baking soda reacts. I swear EVERY time I have cooked something with baking soda, it just turned out horrible because you could actually taste the soda, which precipitates mostly on the bottom part of the dough. What on Earth is going on?

[@miraadyamiranti6705]

Cocoa powder is acidic, so it reacts with the baking soda. If you could taste the bitter soda in your cake then maybe you put a little too much in it.

[@ilynowayy8975]

Something tells me that an addition of fresh coffee grounds would be a nice touch that could lend some acidity.

[@needscel21]

It wouldn't be ok to add vegetable oil. Unless is Coconut oil. Don't use that kind of poison. Even butter is way more nutricional without the dangerous effects of vegetables and nuts oils.

[@guardamelasemilla3412]

¡Mis oídos! Por favor, no golpees tan fuerte las cosas.

[@MemoGrafix]

Cakes made with oil tastes lousy. Butter is the way to great taste.

[@sightlesswisdom2559]

Ok so when people say "Earthiness" from the beets what they actually mean is "Dirt Taste", because thats what it is. But it is trendy to eat dirt now so instead I will just eat the beets myself and get more nitric oxide in my system.

[@stateniland]

back to red head.. :)

[@Arancoba78]

That is too much sugar.

[@marycarter3835]

Didnt like it ...I've had beetroot cake before and it tasted much better than this did .

[@protocolofficer2629]

Keep away from each year’s food trend and stick with tried and true! Beets are trending now but to put them on a cake is just silly!

[@vatsalnarang5814]

The amount of salt you people put in your recipes is too much, you need to add just a tiny pinch of salt, adding so much of salt will just increase the sugar quantity in the recipe..

[@rachelstark2391]

I thought 3/4 tsp. Of salt sounded a bit much.
