STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10 cup Bundt pan with baking spray containing flour.

2

Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.

3

Separate eggs, and whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Set aside.

4

Cream together brown sugar, white sugar, butter, and oil for 2-3 minutes. Add egg yolks, beat for 3 more minutes, then mix in beet puree and vanilla. Alternate adding sifted flour mixture and buttermilk until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

5

Gently fold whipped egg whites into the batter in two additions, until no streaks remain. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.

6

Bake at 350°F until the cake springs back lightly when touched or until a skewer inserted comes out with moist crumbs, 50-55 minutes.

7

Cool cake in the pan for 20 minutes, then loosen edges with a knife and invert onto a wire rack. Cool completely.

8

Combine powdered sugar, heavy cream, beet puree, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed by adding cream or powdered sugar.

9

Drizzle glaze over cooled cake.
