Preheat oven to 350º. Cut the beet(s) in quarters and place in blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour batter in a greased 8×8 baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting.

For the Frosting:

• 1/3 cup soft butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk
• 1/3 cup honey
