I love a red velvet cake, and February feels like the perfect time to share a recipe for one, you know, with Valentine’s Day coming up and all. This is my Beet Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing, because I will take any and all excuses to consume cream cheese icing (it’s simply the best, ok?).

Imagine all the warm and cozy spices and flavours of a slice of banana bread, but in the form of a delightfully chunky granola—not a bad way to start the day in my books!
