Chocolate Beet Cake (2)<br />

Great for birthdays and parties—my kids beg for this decadent but rather nutritious cake!<br />

3 eggs (organic, free-range)<br />

1½ C organic, raw coconut palm sugar or Sucanat (unrefined cane sugar)<br />

¾ C coconut oil (can substitute applesauce for half of this, if desired)<br />

1 tsp. vanilla<br />

1¾ C (about 4 medium-large) beets, peeled and steamed<br />

¼ C baking cocoa (non-alkalized) or raw powdered chocolate<br />

2 C finely ground whole-wheat flour (soft white wheat is best)<br />

1½ tsp. baking soda<br />

½ tsp. sea salt<br />

Preheat oven <strong>to</strong> 350°. Purée the beets in a<br />

high-powered blender, then add the eggs,<br />

sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add the chocolate<br />

and other ingredients. Bake in a 9"x13"<br />

greased pan for 30 min.<br />
