Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the beet puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter equally among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the cream cheese frosting and enjoy!
