For the cake:
2
Grease a springform pan. Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.
3
In a large mixing bowl, beat applesauce, sugar and agave. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat some more for a minute or two. Add beets. Beat some more for another minute until beets are blended thoroughly.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients a little at a time. Blend for 1 minute until well incorporated.
5
Pour mixture into your greased springform pan and smooth the top. Reduce oven temperature to 350u00b0F, put the cake into the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6
For the buttercream frosting:
7
In a medium sized bowl using an electric mixer, mix together confectioners' sugar and butter on low for 1 minute then on high for 2 minutes. Add vanilla and heavy whipping cream and continue to beat on medium for 1 minute more.
8
Let cake cool completely. Spread icing on cake however you like. I took a Ziploc baggie and cut a small hole on one side of the bottom and used it like a pastry bag to pipe it onto the top of the cake.

Enjoy!
