My boy turned three and I had some beets from Tecolote Farm at Austin Farmers' Market I searched and found this recipe and just followed it almost strictly except for the glaze that I added a little agave nectar and threw in some mint leaves to steep in the glaze while it was hot.
And of course, I added Spiderman and the Green Goblin fighting on the cake for some 3-year-old birthday excitement. It was delicious and I would make it again and again. Did I say I love summer? The farmers' markets come alive again and I have so much to work with and so much to experiment. I am searching for a good beet ice cream recipes. I came up with one but I think I just needed more beets in mine. There will be the next beet post.
Great blog Jam, I have added you to my blog list.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of beets but I do love me some chocolate. This cake looks out of this world. yummmm.
ReplyDeleteHi, Jam...
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, chocolate. Looks scrummy. That looks way too good to have beet in it! I going to have to try this one for sure. I still love the plate too. I love making chocolate birthday cakes. Last week. I chose chocolate just so the messy-face cake photos would be extra dramatic. I didn’t have time to cook and puree beets for my best chocolate cake recipe, so I decided to try this new one. Yes this is really delicious chocolate cake. Dude This recipe is bomb and all my friend love.
