Ingredients
Cupcakes:

- ⅞ cup sugar
- 8 oz oil (I used olive oil and avocado oil)
- 3 eggs
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ⅛ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 4 ½ Tbsp dark unsweetened cocoa powder good quality (I used Barry)
- 24 chocolate truffles if using
Buttercream Frosting:
- ¼ cup butter at room temperature
- 2 ½ cups confectioner’s sugar
- ⅜ cup unsweetened cocoa powder good quality

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
- Prepare two, cupcake pans by placing liners in them.
- Puree the beets in a food processor along with the eggs, vanilla, oil and the sugar.
- In a large bowl, place the dry ingredients, then add the pureed mixture. Beat with an electric or stand mixer on low speed until well combined.
- Pour a little batter into prepared liners and drop in a truffle. Add more batter, then bake in preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a tester (or skewer) comes out clean.
- Remove from pans after a few minutes and allow to cool completely on racks.
- Meanwhile, make the buttercream frosting by beating the butter until soft, then adding the sugar, cocoa, ⅛ cup (30 ml) coffee and salt, and mixing until creamy and smooth. Continue to add more coffee until a soft, spreadable, or pipe-able consistency is reached.
- Decorate as desired.
Notes
- Use quality, organic ingredients for best results.
