Instructions

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease and flour a small cake pan.
In a bowl, mix the grated fresh beet with the white vinegar and baking soda. It will fizz; stir and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or whisk.
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat well until combined.
In another bowl, sift together the all purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and whole milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently after each addition.
Fold in the beet mixture carefully until evenly distributed in the batter.
For the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Tips

Use fresh beets for the best natural color and moisture.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
