Chocolate Beet Cake with Beet Frosting

I made this recipe from Joy the Baker a couple days ago.  I had some beets from the bountiful basket I ordered and having no other need for beets, set out to make something sweet with them.  They turned out FABULOUS.  I couldn't taste any beet flavor, but there were definitely quite a bit of beets in the recipe, so I can tell myself they were semi-healthy.  The kids loved them too.  I liked them so much, that this may be one of my new go to chocolate cake recipes.  Not too sweet, very chocolatey, moist and delicious.
Only thing I did different was to purree the beets in the frosting recipe so they weren't so chunky.  The frosting was firm enough to pipe.
