Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups finely grated, vibrant red beets

8. For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is creamy and spreadable.
9. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.

Velvety smooth frosting meets the moist, spiced cake in every bite, creating a harmony of flavors that’s hard to resist. Serve it as a stunning centerpiece at your next brunch or enjoy a slice with your afternoon tea for a truly indulgent treat.
