Servings 1 loaf

Equipment

  • 9×5“ loaf pan
  • Large Bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Wire rack
  • Small Bowl
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 1 cup all purpose flour scooped and leveled
  • ¼ cup dutch process cocoa powder scooped and leveled
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt diamond crystal
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
  • ¾ cup sunflower oil or canola
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup lightly packed or 365g finely grated peeled beets, about 2-3 small beets
  • ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Glaze

  • ⅓ cup full fat greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar plus more if needed
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • Pinch of salt

Beet Crisps

  • 1 small beet scrubbed clean and thinly sliced on a mandolin*

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line and grease a 9×5 loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
  • In a medium bowl whisk eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla. Stir in grated beets.
  • Mix wet into dry until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into loaf pan and spread out evenly.
  • Bake for 50-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While cake cools, make the glaze. Whisk yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt in a small bowl until smooth. It may seem too dry at first, but just keep mixing, it will come together. Add additional powdered sugar if glaze seems too thin. Set aside.
  • To make the beet crisps place sliced beets in an even layer on a parchment lined plate. Cover with another piece of parchment and microwave for 1-3 minutes until shrunk and crispy. They might not seem crisp at first, but when they cool they will be nice and crisp.
  • Once cake is cool, pour glaze all over the top. Garnish with crushed beet crisps. In the video, I had some whole beet crisps on the top, but I don’t recommend that, as it made it hard to cut a slice…ooops!

Notes

*The beet crisps are totally optional 🙂
