Just Beet It! Vegan Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cake

Beets are the magical touch in this moist, chocolaty, almost brownie-like vegan
cake, but other than the vibrant red hue and rich texture they lend, you'll
never know they're there! Oat flour stands in for all purpose, making this cake
gluten-free. A thick vanilla icing with a cream cheese like tang gets slathered
on top of the red velvet cake for an added touch of sweet decadence. The icing
is refined-sugar-free and made from a combination of coconut butter, cashews,
plant-based milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar. A small amount
of coconut flour is whisked in to thicken and set the icing, yielding a
spreadable, whipped consistency. For an extra touch of sweetness and pop of
color, I recommend topping this cake with a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips and
crushed freeze dried raspberries.
