Cooking instruction summary:

See this post for instructions on roasting a beet. Otherwise, you could sub another fruit puree, such as butternut squash or applesauce (adjusting added sugar depending on fruit's sweetness).Butter two standard size muffin tins with dairy-free butter and coat with cocoa powder - shake out excess. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.Add the almond milk and vinegar to a small mixing bowl and mix. Let set for a few minutes to activate.Add the sugar, oil, vanilla, and beet puree and beat until foamy. Then add cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until no large lumps remain.Lastly, add the melted semisweet chocolate and mix once more.Divide the batter evenly between the two muffin tins - it should come up about to the top, which is OK. Break up one square of the dark chocolate and push it down into the centers of the cakes. Cover with batter using a spoon. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until the edges have pulled away slightly and the top no longer appears wet. It's OK if it's a little fudgy but you definitely don't want underdone cake.Let rest in the pan for 4-5 minutes before removing. Then gently loosen the edges with a butter knife and top with a cutting board or plate and carefully invert. Gently transfer to serving plates. Immediately top each cake with the remaining square of vegan dark chocolate (for extra gooey-ness - optional) and serve with coconut whipped cream. Dig in.Other garnishes might include a dusting of cocoa powder, powdered sugar, fresh berries, fresh mint or edible flowers.

Food Joke

For all you Sadies out there, an explanation to help you understand ‘man-speak’ [My thanks to Stan C for the following] IT`S A GUY THING: There’s no rational thought pattern connected with this and you have no chance at all of making it logical. CAN I HELP WITH DINNER?: What he really wanted to say was, "Why isn`t dinner already on the table?" UH HUH; SURE, HONEY; OR YES, DEAR: This is a conditioned response and means absolutely nothing. IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN: This is another way of saying, "I have no idea how it works." I WAS LISTENING TO YOU. IT`S JUST THAT I’VE THINGS ON MY MIND: What this really means is, "I wasn’t listening to you because I was wondering if that blond over there was wearing a bra." TAKE A BREAK DARLING, YOU’RE WORKING TOO HARD: What he really wanted to say was, "I can`t hear the football match on the TV. Please turn off the vacuum cleaner." THAT`S INTERESTING, DEAR: This is another way of saying, "Are you still talking?" YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY MEMORY IS: This means, "I remember all the words to `My Way`; the name of the first girl I kissed; and the registration numbers of every car I`ve owned - but I forgot your birthday." I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU SO I GOT YOU THESE FLOWERS: This really means, "The girl selling flowers on the corner was a real beauty, so I bought some from her." HEY, I`VE GOT MY REASONS FOR WHAT I`M DOING: But what he didn’t add was, "And I sure hope I think of some pretty good reasons soon.” WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?: What he really wanted to say was, "What did you catch me at this time?" I HEARD YOU: What this means is, "I haven`t the foggiest clue what you just said and I’m hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don`t spend the next 3 days yelling at me. YOU KNOW I COULD NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE: This really means, "I’m used to the way you shout at me, and I realise it could be worse." YOU LOOK TERRIFIC: What he really wanted to say was, "Please don`t try on one more outfit, I`m absolutely starving."
