This decadently moist and gluten-free, Beet Chocolate Oatmeal Cake is an absolute delight to savor when that chocolate craving hits ~ or, just because!

Ingredients

CAKE

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten with fork
  • 1 cup Gluten Free flour I used Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 11/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 11/2 cup quick cooking oats Certified GF
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons puréed beets I usually have beet purée sitting in my fridge after baking beets for 45 minutes at 400 degrees and then skinning them and puréeing them in a blender or 2 tbsp grated beetroot.
  • 1 12 oz bag chocolate chips divided

FROSTING

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2-3/4 cup mini marshmallows*

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars.
  • Then add the eggs and mix till well incorporated.
  • Add flour, soda, salt, and cocoa and mix well
  • In a separate bowl, add the boiling water to the oatmeal and let stand for a few minutes. When the oats soften, add oats/water mixture to the batter and mix well.
  • Add in the beets and half of the bag of chocolate chips (6 ounces).
  • Pour into a parchment paper-lined cake pan (9x10)
  • Sprinkle the top of the cake with the rest of the bag of chocolate chips (6 ounces).
  • Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes - "do not overbake". Let cool completely.
  • FROSTING
  • For the frosting, melt the butter and chocolate chips
  • Add the confectioner's sugar into it
  • Then the coconut milk and stir well. Frosting will be almost pour-able - spread on top of the cake and let cool before digging into
