    Not a very good recipe. The idea is great, but the recipe does not work. The cakes never cook through; no matter how long you bake them.

    Not sure how many people are screwing up the recipe, it's pretty simple! I did not choose to use the oil, I followed the recipe as Tyler made them in this episode - with the applesauce and I highly recommend them! Healthy and delicious!

    I'm a private chef for a healthy vegetarian family. This recipe looked perfect for them because they also love beets.

    I made some changes after reading the reviews:
    - I used mini cupcake trays lined with cupcake papers and sprayed with baking spray instead of ramekins.
    - I added 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to honor the classic red velvet recipe.
    - To balance the added cocoa I added 1/4 cup brown sugar making it a full cup.

    Make sure to puree your beets really well and it does take much longer to bake even with in mini cupcake size. It took me apx. 50 min.

    The result is good. Don't expect these to taste like normal super sugary cupcakes. They are like dense, moist muffins.

    ** Most baked good will fall after you take them out IF they are under baked. Make sure to leave them in until they spring back from a firm tap to the middle.

    After reading the review of the cakes, I decided just to try making the beet garnish. I know he sandwiched them to keep them flat but what happened is they steamed instead. When I took them out three hours later the house smelled of moist beets and they totally stuck to the parchment paper and were gross. I tried to "chip" them like savory chips I had previously made but they just turned to beet leather. Horrid. ~ suziethefoodie

    I thought this sounded yummy since I love beets. I used melted butter instead of oil and also used the applesauce. To fit into 4 dishes I had to use 4 rather big bowls and then it took at least another 25-30 minutes to cook through. It had the look of a really moist carrot cake but I have to say I didn't really like it.

    although the ingredients are easy, goes together easy. the cake rose in the oven and then FELL w/in 10 min after coming out of the oven. didn't use the oil, which was NOT on the show. don't think it would've mattered. it tasted like a soggy beet mess. i cook everything and am experienced w all types of recipes so i was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but was sadly dissappointed. would love to see a GOOD way to use beets still.

    The oil is listed in the ingredients in addition to applesauce, but you are only supposed to use one of them! Pick the applesauce, it's much better! :

    I followed the recipe to a tee, the oil is not listed anymore so I used the applesauce. I poured it into 6 very full ramekins and after baking for 15 minutes they have over flowed and it is a huge mess.....

    what happened?

    I love Tyler but this is a real mess. I followed the recipe exactly - as I always do for a first cut - including the oil even though it was not an ingredient on the show and after 25 minute of baking, the cake was raw. I baked it for an additional 15 minutes, and even though a thermometer indicated an internal temp of 195 degrees, the cake fell as soon as I took it out of the oven. The taste was not good. I consider this a total waste of time and ingredients.

    It took over an hour to bake this and was still never cooked.
    It fell as soon as I took it out of the oven.
    Never did cook..was all wet/raw
    also did not place the oil b/c watched it on TV.
    The the raw cake taste was ok..but I wasted an afternoon and loads of good ingred. to try this
    would like to see a re-make of this so us common folks could make this at home!!
