Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line and grease a 9x5 loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl whisk eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla. Stir in grated beets.

Step 4

Mix wet into dry until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 5

Pour batter into loaf pan and spread out evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 50-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 7

Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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!
