Recipe
Makes 1 2-layer 8-inch cake
Ingredients
Cake
2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups (350 g) sugar
2/3 cup (80 g) Dutch process cocoa powder
1 tsp (3 g) baking powder
1 tsp (5 g) salt
¾ cup (180 g) unsalted butter at room temperature, cut into pieces
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
¾ cup finely grated cooked beets (about 2 large beets)
1 ¼ cups (310 ml) hot water
Frosting
½ cup + 2 Tbsp (145 g) unsalted butter
1 cup (200 g) sugar
¾ cup (90 g) Dutch process cocoa powder, sifted
¾ cup (180 ml) whipping cream
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
½ tsp (3 g) salt
Directions
1. For the cake, preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper and dust the sides with flour, tapping out any excess.
2. Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter has been worked into the flour (it will seem dry and crumbly).
3. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix in slightly, then mix in the beets. Add the hot water while mixing on low speed, then increase the speed to medium high and continue to mix for 2 to 3 minutes, until the batter is thick and fluffy. Scrape the batter into the prepared pans, spread to level the batter and tap the pans on the counter to knock out any large air pockets.
4. Bake the cakes for about 35 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes in their pans for 30 minutes then turn them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
5. For the frosting, melt the butter in a medium saucepot, then whisk in the sugar and cocoa powder. Continue to whisk this over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble, then whisk in the cream. Continue to whisk until the mixture returns to a simmer (gentle bubbles) and whisk for an additional minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Cool the mixture (it will look like a thick fudge sauce) to room temperature, then chill for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally while chilling. This will set the frosting to a spreadable consistency.
6. To assemble, peel the parchment from a cake layer and place it on a plate or platter. Spread an even layer of frosting over the top of the cake and place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake, spreading until smooth. Chill the cake to set, but pull the cake from the fridge an hour before slicing and serving.
The cake will keep for up to 4 days, refrigerated.

I literally wanna live in her fridge 😅
Omg! I literally said the same thing😄
I literally wanna live in her fridge
I can’t tell you the reviews I have gotten for this cake!! Incredible cake, not dry like other chocolate cakes.
Amazing to hear Eman!
Looks good and I'm going to give it a try.
I miss the time lapse of the cakes in the oven, though. Am I the only one who loves to see them inflate, etc, like magic?
We've checked the analytics and believe us, you are not the only one who loves those shots.
Hi Anna, today my son birthday. I did this cake we all love the taste and even enjoy a lot.., thank you..🙂
That's amazing to hear! Happy Birthday to your son!
Going to give it a try:
1. Can we replace the sugar with stevia? Will it ruin the texture in any way?
2. I love rich dense moist texture, just afraid some people will count it as uncooked
What you show is a solid demonstration of a perfect baking!
Thank you!
Why I am watching this 😭😭when I can’t put that slice in my mouth . Makes me so sad 😞😭😭😭
It's time to get baking Anna! :)
The gloss of the fudge icing reminds me of the cake scene from "Matilda".
Maybe it's time to whip up a magical cake? :)
😂 😂 😂 If Ms Olson made that cake instead of Cookie, I would've finished it so fast!
Dwight must have sponsored this video.
I was looking for this comment!
Personally I dont like the look of the chocolate cake texture but the frosting I want to try and make
You can't win em all!
@@ohyum reply true...I dont like dense cakes but I have made many of your recipes and they were great especially the chocolate chip cookies
Yasmin believe me the cake is incredible, and you are right that frosting is just on another level. People are always asking for this recipe.
Que dleicia Anna, te admiro enormemente, espero poder hacerla, Gracias por lo bien que explicas, siempre estoy atenta a tus preparaciones.
Looks so moist! The recipe seems similar to a classic RED velvet cake?
The beets definitely help with that!
Red velvet is just chocolate cake with red food colouring. Beet chocolate cake is similar but adds the nutrition of beets (and their natural red colour), moisture and texture. As well, since no artificial dyes are used -- it's a healthier choice.
Mmm I absolutely love chocolate cake and this looks like a good addition to it! Thanks Anna! 🙏🇨🇦❤
Chocolate cake is such a classic that it pays to know different variations of it!
Love this vegetable cake series, so original and all of the cakes look amazing! 😍
Thanks! People don't tend to think of vegetables as being sweet treats, but we aim to change that!
So OH YUM 😋
ANNA i wish you was my neighbor 🏡👍
The great marcia adams had a recipe for a chocolate cake with potatoes in it. This reminded me of that. The potatoes could not be tasted but they kept the cake moist.
It looks amazing. Thanks!
and Thank You for watching!
That generous dollop got my attention... *YUM YUM*

May I ask, why Beets? Just curious...it looks so delicious and moist...
We were trying to illustrate that you can make all kinds of classic desserts with ingredients that you wouldn't expect, and they still taste delicious! Besides, why not make a cake with a few more health benefits? :)
I want the oven in my house.
With beets being in abundance right now, no excuse to not make this delicious cake.
Exactly!
@@ohyum Thank you for the recipe.

Oh wow that’s a wonderful looking beet chocolate cake, I need to make this as I’m curious of the taste 😍😍
You absolutely should! Please let us know how it turns out it!
كل وصفاتك اجمل من بعض
It's loos delicious..can we replaced beet to other veggies or nuts or fruits
You can certainly try and experiment! The texture and taste of the final product will change.
Can we skip the beet part? We dont have beets in our country 😩
Wowww i have to make this it’s look amazing 😍
You must! It's as delicious as it looks!
Oh yum... Nice recipes mummy Anna..
Drop the beet!!
This isn't a Skrillex show!
hmm.. ❤️❤️ love it. and i yummy treat for family dinner.. thanks for the recipe chef Anna. 👍👍
You are welcome, and thank you for watching!
Good morning Anna. Can I replace the beets with 1 tblsp of beet powder. Thanks. Penny
just wondering..how do u keep those dry ingredients (flour, sugar etc) hygienic & free from dusts and whatnot in the drawers?
I always thought she bakes a lot and those items don't last long in those drawers, they're in constant rotation
The ingredients are stored in containers within the drawers. After the shooting, a lid is placed on each of the containers to keep their content dry and safe from ants and other critters.
Correct!
I adore how clean and tidy is everything in the studio! When Ann opens the drawers, they seem like they are all new!
@@ΒΑΡΒΑΡΑΚΑΝΟΝΙΔΟΥ Signs of a pro!
I use Miracle Whip in my chocolate cake. Unbelievably good and moist!
Quick question: You store your white sugar in a draw? Do you have any trouble with dampness in the sugar? 🐇
No, but this kitchen was built on a set where we were able to control the moisture in the air.
Okay, thanks 🐇
Hi, Chef Anna! If beets are not available in our area, what else can we use for this recipe? Hello from the Philippines! 😊
Anna, hello. 3/4 cup of beets, how much will it be in grams? thank
Hi when you put the cake into the fridge,what was in the class tall cups?? They sure look good to
Its look tasty and i like the frosting recepi
Cant wait to try on it
Please let us know how it turns out when you try it!
@@ohyum sure anna thank u ❤

Спасибо за такой лёгкий рецепт! Обязательно попробую! Тем более, очень люблю шоколадную выпечку!
Спасибо!
It looks very delicious, but I absolutely don’t understand this system with tbs without grams 😭
Just use google to convert the measurements.
Metric measurements have been added to the recipe. Now get baking!
Oh Yum with Anna Olson thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Mmm amazing cake😍 i have to make it. Thank you dear Anna

What can I use instead of Beet?
How about a different recipe? ......... smh.... 🙄
Beets are just soooo good for you 😳
Hi Maam Anna. I dont have a red beets. What would be the alternative.
This one has the beet root but it is too dence hmmm I have steamed a bag of beats and i want to use them up. Looks good thought.
Looks yummy but I would experiment with reducing the sugar, especially as beetroot is very sweet anyway.
Experimenting with recipes is key to find the perfect balance of everything you want. Experiment away!
😍
I used this frosting on a different cake. It was delicious 😋
Happy to help! :)
Nice cake . Why coffee is not added when is chocolate cake.
Coffee isn't necessary for a chocolate cake, it depends on if you want that specific flavor.
@@ohyum ok thanks

Don't we all? :)
Delicious way to make a cake 🍰😋😋😋😋💐
Can u tell me how much is 3/4 cup... As I don't hv a measuring cup of that measurement 😅
Take 1/2 cup+ 1/4 cup: that is 3/4 cup.
Or 3 times 1/4 cup.
hi Anna!! does it taste more like beets or chocolate?
Good morning
can I add non dairy cream please?
Are you ambidextrous
What oven brand are you using?
Hi Anna, would this recipe be considered red velvet? If not, what is the difference?
Red velvet cake is just chocolate cake with red food colouring. This has beets, which add flavour and moisture as well as colour.
yum yum! I have to try this , I mean that!
Yummy yummy
Oh yummy yummy ;)
Woow i love the uniqueness
Thank you! It's certainly a different but delicious take on Chocolate Cake!
Looks gooood
Thank you Hannah!

You are correct Aurel! We will be adding in the metric measurements asap!
And they have been added! Now get baking! :)
@@ohyum thank you❤
You are welcome, and thank you for pointing out the error!
