Beet Red Velvet cake
"As much as red velvet cake has been a national favorite, many cooks find it unacceptable to add artificial red food coloring to the recipe. Beets have become today's go-to fresh and natural alternative to food dye. In this recipe the beets are roasted, which brings out their natural sugars."
My Experience:
I was excited about this one because red food dye is so unhealthy, especially in the huge portions that are needed to make a chocolate cake look red. Taking the extra step of roasting the beets for an hour and a half and then having to pulse them in a food processor is something that I wouldn't want to have to do whenever I want this kind of cake. I would much rather just make a red velvet recipe and leave out the pointless food-dye. It would still taste the same, it just would be brown instead. That being said, this cake turned out nicely.
