Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cooked and pureed beetroot
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the beetroot puree, vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and vinegar.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While the cakes are baking, prepare the cream cheese filling by beating the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  7. Once the cakes are cool, slice each cake in half horizontally to create layers.
  8. Spread the cream cheese filling between the layers of cake.
  9. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream until just boiling, then pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes before stirring until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of the assembled cake.
  11. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the beetroot is well-cooked and pureed for a smooth texture.
  • For a richer flavor, let the cake sit overnight before serving.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
