Chocolate Cupcakes Made with Beets! Photo: AllRecipes
No one will ever guess that there are beets in this cake–it’s just a rich, moist, chocolate cake.
Of course beets are a super food with many health benefits.
I’ve seen beets added to many foods for the nutrition benefits, but you will definitely enjoy this one. Since chocolate is good for you too, the case could be made for this as health food!
You can make this cake in any shape pan or as cupcakes. You can use drained, canned beets instead of fresh beets if you like. That keeps the mess of beet juice to a minimum.
When working with beets keep a cloth nearby to wipe up any drips or spills right away. Beet juice stains countertops and clothing quickly. Wear old clothes or black clothes while making this for the same reason.
If you do get beet juice on fabric that shows the stain, use the immediate hot water treatment like you would for fruit stains.

The important part is to treat the stain immediately!
