Cooking note: You will get a redder color if you do not use Dutch processed cocoa powder. The alkalized cocoa powder retards the reddening which naturally occurs in cocoa when it is introduced to vinegar or buttermilk. - 5/2/13

Will definitely try this one as soon as the snowstorm is over with. Good thing that canned beets can be used, as any fresh produce is pricey at this time of the year. Might also tweak it a bit after baking them the first time. Thinking of decreasing the amount of surgar. Will rate later. - 1/30/13

Are the beets supposed to be raw or cooked? No butter or coconut oil? I'll try it with raw beets and let you know how it turns out. - 10/16/16

I tried it, but it didn't turn out for me...I used unbleached flour instead of whole wheat; I didn't have the ground almonds and used peanut flour instead. I used canned beets and the color was a faded brown... Anyone else have better results?
