Directions
- SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: KitchenAid® Stand Mixer with flex edge paddle attachment; KitchenAid® K400 Blender; 4 quart saucepan; heatsafe bowl; glass measuring cup with pour spout; 3 9-inch cake pans; cooling racks; offset spatula
- Make the beet purée. Place prepared beets in a pot and add enough water to cover them by an inch. Bring to a boil then reduce to medium high heat and cook for twenty minutes, or until a fork cleanly goes through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked beets from the water and place them into the jar of the KitchenAid® Blender. Add 1/4 cup of the beet liquid from the pot into the blender jar (reserving the remaining liquid in the pot). Blend on Speed 2 until beets are a smooth purée consistency. Remove the purée from the blender and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/176°C. Grease 3 9-inch cake pans and dust with cocoa powder.
