Puree 1 can (drained, reserve liquid) of Beets
add 3-4 tbsps of the beet water and the Lemon Juice and vanilla extract to make up puree.

In mixing bowl, add flour/sugar/dry carob powder/b.powder.

Using a small bowl over slow boiling water, melt the chocolate chips and add melted coconut oil until fully melted.

Add the puree to the dry ingredients and integrate well.
Then add the melted chips & oil to the batter.

You can either make into cupcakes, or a cake pan. The nutritional value is for a 9-inch cake pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for roughly 25-35 minutes.

Cool and then frost:

For frosting: I use the same method for the melting of the chocolate chips and melt the sweet condensed milk till smooth, then add in the cream cheese.
