Fp Naomi, our resident chef, is away in Hong Kong right now so for today’s recipe I thought I’d share this video I came across recently. The recipe is for a cake made with beets, and although yes that does sound interesting and potentially delicious, what I love about it is the beauty of this video – it’s magically done, focusing on the physical act of making something as an art form. I couldn’t take my eyes away!

Check out their blog, Tiger in a Jar – I’m in love with pretty much everything they do.
I discovered this recipe on another blog I read. I tried the recipe and it’s delicous.
I have free people blog on google reader. I’m frequent lurker and rarely comment.
Love your blog!
Rachel:)
This goes well with Jitterbug Perfume! :D

I was thinking the same thing, Taylor! <3 beets!
Wow! I have never in my lifetime heard of a cake made with beets but in fact it actually looks utterly delicious! I have always loved beets, so I definitely want to give this one a try!
I found this vid at the beginning of the summer and like you was entranced! I love the gorgeous way they displayed the products and made the recipie. I made it for my brother upon his arrival home from 5 weeks in China! We loved it!
Can’t wait to pull the beets out of my garden and get baking!
Yum! and gorgeous video. It does go well with the book. My friend made stuffed shells with beet sauce once that was AMAZING, I think of that recipe when I think of making things from beets. I wish I was more into cooking…
My father has a great deal of beets growing in his garden, so yesterday I decided I would pick a few and put them to use. The cake was delicious and incredibly moist, and not overpoweringly sweet (like I found most cakes to be). My sister told me I have to make her one for her Birthday.
Chocolate cake isn’t something I will normally eat (unless my mom makes a German chocolate cake), but this is my exception number two. Next time I make it I want to try cutting back on the chocolate a bit to let the beet flavour shine through more.
What a perfect way to sneak beets into your diet! I love beets and eat them daily as I have low iron. Unfortunately, my bf does not share my love of beets. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I now have a way of making sure that he eats his beets too!

I accidentally made an extra cup of beet puree. I cut the recipe in half and put just one chocolate square in. The batter was a beautiful light pink. I used it to make cupcakes instead of cake and they were divine!
