Red velvet cake recipe incorporating beets?
I have 1.5 large roasted beets that I'd like to incorporate into a red(dish) velvet cake, sans red food coloring. Does anyone have a good recipe? Thanks in advance ...

You could also experiment with other natural colorants like hibiscus powder.
If you want to use your fresh beets, my favorite ways are raw ravioli (shave paper thin slices of beet and sandwich dollops of cashew ricotta in between two at a time) or to make pretty pink cocktails. You can make a drink mix with beet juice, raspberry puree, lime juice, a touch of vanilla and some agave nectar. Mix in a shaker with some booze and you will have the most girly martini ever.
You might want to search in the foodpickle "red velvet cake" because I think this subject has come up before.
Good luck!
