Beetroot Cake

How to make:

  1. Make the puree of Beets. Prepared Beets should be placed in a pan with 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water covering them. A fork should easily pass through the dish after 20 minutes of cooking on medium-high heat after bringing to a boil. With a slotted spoon, remove the cooked beets from the water and add them to the jar of the blender.

 

  1. Blender jar should have 60ml (2 fl oz) of the beet liquid from the pot (reserving the remaining liquid in the pot). Beets should be puréed smoothly at Speed 2 in the blender. Purée should be taken out of the  blender and kept aside. 

 

  1. Set the oven’s temperature to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Dust three 23-cm/9-inch cake tins with cocoa powder after lightly greasing them.

 

  1. 250ml/8.5 fluid ounce of the beet liquid and water are brought to a boil. Remove from heat and discard the remaining beet liquid.

 

  1. Cocoa, Espresso and Beet Powders should be combined in a separate bowl before being added to the hot water and whisked to completely dissolve. Then, add the sour cream/yogurt and 250ml/8.5fl oz of the beet purée, and whisk once more to mix. Place aside.

 

  1. In the measuring jug, combine the eggs, vanilla, and olive oil. Never mix. Place aside.

 

  1. Add the sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer (we like the KitchenAid Stand Mixer) with the flex edge paddle attachment. Set the mixer to Speed 2 and let it run for 30 seconds. Reduce speed to Stir and gently pour the wet beet liquid into the dry mixture. After that, gradually stir in one egg at a time of the egg/olive oil mixture. Increase to Speed 2 for 10 seconds after adding all wet ingredients. Take the mixing bowl out and put it aside.

 

  1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 10 second intervals or in a double boiler, being careful not to let the bowl touch the water. Melted chocolate is manually incorporated into the dough.

 

  1. Each prepared cake pan should get a third of the batter. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cakes should be taken out of the oven and left to cool completely on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.

 

  1. Create the icing while the cakes cool. Butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and salt should be added to the mixing bowl after attaching the flex edge beater back to the stand mixer. Using Speed 6, cream the ingredients together for about 3–4 minutes, or until thoroughly blended and finely whipped. Add the beet powder and 1/3 of the powdered sugar, then increase the speed to 4 to combine. Reduce to Stir. To incorporate all of the powdered sugar, repeat twice more. After that, whip on Speed 4 for 60 seconds.

 

  1. Place the first layer of cake on a plate or cake stand once the cakes have cooled completely, then use the spatula to gently apply an even layer of frosting over the top. Repeat with the second and third layers of cake, icing, and cake, respectively. Add a final frosting layer, some fresh cherries, and a thin layer of beet powder to the cake’s top. Add cocoa powder on top after drizzling over the cake. Add some rosemary as a garnish if preferred. Before eating, let the chocolate set.
