-
398 mL can sliced beets, drained
unsweetened apple sauce
2 tbsp. water
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. white vinegar
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup Splenda
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Oil or spray two 8- or 9-inch cake pans.
Put the drained beets into the food processor with 1/4 cup (clear) water, and process until pureed.
Put the pureed beets into a 2-cup measure. Add enough apple sauce to reach the 2-cup line.
Add the 2 tablespoons water, vanilla extract, and vinegar to the beets and mix well.
Mix the dry ingredients together, add the beet mixture and stir until well-combined.
Bake for 35 minutes Test by inserting a toothpick into the center; it's done when the toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.

Made and eaten... yummy! I made it into a black forest cake with cherry pie filling in the middle, although fresh fruit would have been good too, then topped with lite cool whip. The rice flour and all splenda really cut the calorie count, to make room for the topping :) even the kids liked it! - 6/9/10
