Red Velvet Bundt Cake made with Barleans

The Bundt Cake

This recipe uses the Cake Mix in a Jar I posted the other day but I made it healthier with Barlean’s Green’s Powder Chocolate Silk, Butter Flavored Coconut Oil and beet puree. NO FOOD COLORING! I also reduced the sugar by using a stevia baking blend.

If you want to give this as a gift you can get a printable version of the instructions here to attach to the jar.

    Audrey, now here’s a red velvet cake I could enjoy eating! I cannot bring myself to eat cake with a whole bottle of red food coloring in it, but I would love a cake with beet puree.
