Chocolate Beet Cake

I roast them too.

I don't get the "peel after roasting" thing. They're not that hard to peel in the first place. I use a vegetable peeler; they peel as easily as potatoes. I find that less messy than peeling them after they're warm and soft, even if the skin does come off easily.

I recently made some refrigerator pickles from some CSA beets and they were awesome.

I usually roast as well, about 375 or so

That's what I do, too.

Devil's food cake uses finely grated raw beets. As in devil's food cake with chocolate whipped cream filling and whipped fudge frosting. It's a very moist chocolate cake.

OP here. I didn't actually pay close attention but I think my poop had a slightly purple hue. I didn't even think abut grating the beets. I just boiled the crap out of them and puréed them.

I need that Devils Fiod Cake recipe!

Salad cake poster here-

I used a mix, left out the oil, added one grated granny smith and one grated carrot. Cake was suuuuper moist. I did not use beet because i was not up for cooking it first. Carrot did not disappear - 'twas detected.

OP here - isn't this somewhat along the lines of replacing oil & egg with applesauce in cake mix? It does leave a bit of apple flavor but it is super moist.

Saw pre-cooked beets in the refrigerated produce section of Giant. If anyone wants to delve right into making the cake.
