Perfect For Valentine’s Day – Organic Red Velvet Cupcakes (With Natural Beet Coloring)

You are here: Home / Keeping Busy / Christmas Holiday Season / Perfect For Valentine’s Day – Organic Red Velvet Cupcakes (With Natural Beet Coloring)

Christmas Holiday Season Fun Foods for Families

What I hear the most when it comes to red velvet cake is that everyone wishes there were natural coloring options. There is, a little extra work goes a long way and I promise you’ll love these cupcakes just as much as anything else! On Valentine’s Day we don’t usually go out but I always want to make some sweet treats and a good dinner for my family. What’s better than a day of showing the ones you love the most just how much you love them and I often do that with food.

Ingredients
  • 6 organic beets, boiled for 40 minutes, and then cooled, peeled, and chopped coarsely
  • 1/2 cup organic applesauce
  • 1/2 cup organic butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups organic sugar
  • 2 eggs, preferably organic and free-range
  • 1 tsp. organic vanilla extract
  • 1 Tb. vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 cup organic plain yogurt
  • 2 Tb. organic cocoa powder or organic raw chocolate powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 cups organic spelt flour or all purpose flour or cake flour, sifted

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine chopped cooked beets and applesauce in a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. In a large mixing bowl in an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla, and then add the beet mixture, mixing well. Add the vinegar and the yogurt and mix well again.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa or chocolate powder, baking soda, flour, and salt together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until well blended.
