Here is how you make Old-Fashioned Chocolate Fudge Cake:

To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350?F. Coat a 10-inch round cake pan with pan spray or oil. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a second large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, yogurt, egg whites and olive oil until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the beets. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the contents of the bowl with the beets. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes, until the cake is slightly domed in the center and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes, then run a knife around the edge and invert the cake directly onto the rack, about 1 hour longer to cool completely.To make the frosting: Using a standing mixer and the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium for about 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth. Sift in the sugar and cocoa and continue to mix, starting on low and increasing to medium as the sugar is incorporated, until the frosting is completely smooth. Add the vanilla and mix until it is incorporated. Use an offset spatula to frost the top of the cake first, starting at the center and pushing the frosting out to the sides.Cut the cake into wedges to serve. Serving Size:?Makes 16 servings
