Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9-inch spring form pan or cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa and sugar.
3. In a small bowl, combine the pureed beets, eggs, oil and vanilla extract.
4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and place beet mixture in the middle.
5. Mix until just combined. The batter will be a gorgeous shade of red, very reminiscent of red velvet cake - which was also a selling point to Andy because that's one of his favorite cakes!
6. Pour into spring form pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean.
7. Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
8. Wait until completely cool before icing. The only reason I didn't use a homemade icing recipe was because I had a can of some premade stuff that I wanted to use up. And well, Andy likes it - so I gotta give in to some processed stuff.
9. Slice and enjoy!
