RED VELVET BEET CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and grease or line a cupcake pan. Wrap beet roots in aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes or until beets are soft enough for a knife to slide easily through. Let cool, then peel. In a food processor, pulse beets. Add sour milk and blend until smooth. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch and cocoa powder. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla. Alternate adding flour mixture and beet puree to the wet ingredients. Fold each addition with a spatula, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, until you have a smooth batter. Fill each cupcake pan and bake for about 20 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely. In the bowl of your standmixer with the whisk attachment, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, ¼ cup at a time. Add evaporated milk one tablespoon at a time until a smooth, thick frosting comes together. Top each cupcake with frosting. Refrigerate before serving.

• Butter two 9-inch cake pans. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment and then butter again.
• In a food processor, chop beets to pieces about the size of finely diced onions. Measure 1 cup and set aside (remaining beets can be reserved for another purpose). Return cup of beets to the food processor. Purée with buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar and vanilla until smooth.
