Reduce to a simmer; cook till very tender when pierced with the tip of knife, about 1 hour. Drain. Let rest till cold sufficient to handle. Rub off peel with fingers, paper towels, or possibly an old kitchen towel. Cut beets into large pcs; transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Process till smooth, 5 min. Set aside 4 c. beet puree.

- Heat oven to 350 degrees with the rack in its lower third. With an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat Large eggs and granulated sugar on medium-low speed till combined. Beat in brown sugar till combined. Beat in vegetable oil. On low speed, gradually beat in beet puree. Add in dry ingredients, alternating with melted chocolate. Add in vanilla; beat till combined.
- Pour batter into 12-c. tube pan. Bake till cake tester inserted in middle comes out clean, about 1 hour 35 min. Transfer to a wire rack to cold. Invert pan, and remove cake.
