"After reading about the history of the popular red velvet cake, I wanted to try the version with beets. It has a beautiful color and tastes divine with or without frosting. This recipe makes one sheet cake, a 2-layer cake, cupcakes, or even cake pops."

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Where I live I use "gasificante", which is 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon malic and tartaric acid instead of using baking powder.
- Avoid over-mixing the cake batter in step 3 as much as possible.
- Partner Tip
- Reynolds® parchment can be used for easier cleanup/removal from the pan.

I absolutely loved this cake. Will make it again soon. I hate using too much food coloring. It is a very delicious and healthier alternative.
