Red Velvet Cake is strangely flavorless, and looks unnervingly fake. I think it's really great that you put this recipe with beets instead of food coloring and that you've added more cocoa powder. I can't wait to try this recipe! I agree with you, Jessica. Red Velvet Cake is strangely flavorless, and looks unnervingly fake.

I fixed the recipe so it's clearer now. Whoops, I replaced the cherries with dates. I fixed the recipe so it’s clearer now.

I'm with you on the artificial colouring thing - it's not that I'm a fanatic about it, but yes, it does feel weird dumping an entire bottle into a cake batter! I've made something similar, but in cupcake format. I didn't use dates or applesauce though, and it still came out plenty moist. In fact, it's one of my favourite cupcakes that I've made so far. You can check out my post here (http://thecreativepot.blogspot.com/2009/10/chocolate-beetroot-cupcakes.html), if you like. This looks pretty good.

I don't know what you're talking about... This cake sounds good though it certainly is no Red Velvet cake. You need buttermilk and vinegar to give it that slight tang...that's where the flavor comes from. This recipe is no where near being a Red Velvet cake, honestly. I will take this piece of advice: "Just tell your friends that you made chocolate-raspberry cake." because if I told them it was Red Velvet cake they'd probably be up in arms!

Beets, dates, prunes and applesauce. Sounds awfully healthy to me. Oh right, just don't forget the chocolate and sugar too! Great post, another recipe of yours I'd like to try for sure. And me too, minus any ground beetles, thank you very much! :) Wow, what a recipe! Beets, dates, prunes and applesauce. Sounds awfully healthy to me.

I love how moist dates keep cakes. As much as I love me some delicious, visceral ground beetles…I do love the natural sweetness that would come from beets–and this recipe looks like it’s a keeper.
