Sorry to hear you were disappointed… I had actaully posted an updated version of this recipe that called for more chocolate. The link was at the top of this post, but here it is again should you want to tackle it again.

I was very disappointed. There is not enough chocolate in the recipe, and the cake was flavorless. I was expecting the beets to add moistness, but the cake was too dry for my liking.

However, I would suggest much more chocolate. I used 2.5 ounces and it was barely enough. I made a chocolate ganache to pour over it, and it was amazing.

Could do with significantly more chocolate, I find. Here is a interesting question: The cake (when still ever-so-slightly warm) smells strongly of ammonia. No other cake has ever done that, so I presume it’s the beets? Quite weird. Thank you!

Instead I too a box cake mix, and replaced the oil with the beet puree. It came out wonderfully. So great taste and no oil.

Yep, you do cook the beets first. If you look in the first paragraph of instructions in the recipe at the bottom of the post, you’ll see directions for preparing the beets. :)
