Beet Chocolate Cake Twist

Chocolate cake reimagined with pureed roasted beets for moisture and earthiness. Switched traditional canola oil for avocado oil to add subtle richness without overpowering. Rolled oats substitute for half the flour for texture and a slight nuttiness. Cocoa powder is replaced with Dutch-processed cocoa for deeper, less acidic chocolate flavor. Sugar reduced by 30 percent, balanced with a touch of honey to retain moisture. Baking temperature lowered slightly to 340°F to prevent cracking and ensure even rise. Visual cues emphasized over timers to judge doneness. Powdered sugar topping swapped for espresso dust for a bitter contrast and aroma punch.
