I made this purple chocolate cake using beets. Being “Deceptively Delicious” I fooled my husband. While my children are game to eat pretty much anything I make, my husband is known as the “picky” eater around here.

In a medium saucepan, heat the beets and agave to a boil

Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, until beets are soft

Transfer beet-agave mixture to a blender and puree on highest speed until smooth

Blend in eggs, oil, vanilla, almond extract, cocoa and salt until thoroughly incorporated

Pour batter into a well greased 9-inch cake pan

Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean

Cool and serve
