Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Butter a 9 inch bundt pan, sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of flour in the buttered pan
- And rotate the pan a few times to distribute the flour evenly before tapping out the excess.
- Combine the sugar and shortening in a large mixing bowl and beat until fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition
- Combine the beets, cocoa and food coloring in a blender jar and process until smooth, about 45 seconds. Add the beet mixture to the egg mixture and mix well.
- Mix together the salt, vanilla and buttermilk and add alternately with the sifted cake flour, stirring after each addition.
- In a small bowl, stir together the baking soda and vinegar and fold into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Set the cake on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before frosting.
- Frosting:
- Combine all frosting ingredients and beat well.
- Ice the cake and refrigerate before serving.
