Chocolate orange beet cake with cream cheese walnut icing from Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South (page 520) by Vivian Howard

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    First recipe from the book that I tried. I love red velvet cake (my go to recipe is from Bobby Flay) and chocolate beet cake but this one was a miss for me. Something about the orange, beet and chocolate flavor combination that just didn't work. The cake tasted of beets and orange which maybe was too savory or something and the soaking syrup with the cocoa was just off. Nice and moist and the frosting is a winner - will make that again but on a different cake.

    Episode 6, season 3, This cake is made with beets which naturally colors the cake to a red velvet color. The orange syrup and chocolate cream cheese frosting are supposed to play nicely with the rich chocolate.
