Purple Velvet Torte - Feast Your Eyes

purple velvet torte
Guess what this purple velvet torte doesn't contain? Flour. Guess what it does contain? Beets. That's right, this drool-worthy specimen from Elana's Pantry is not only gluten-free, but it actually gives you a dose of veg. Elana says this is her second attempt at "hiding" beets in treats, and that the torte passed her picky husband's taste test with flying colors. The torte is sweetened with agave nectar and moistened with grapeseed oil. As a mild beet-phobe myself, I'm desperately curious to see how well the beet-y taste is hidden.

I wanted to let you know that I ran a challenge a few weeks ago and it was a big success so now I am running one that involves PEEPS. Please take a look if you get a chance.
