1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two small 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or another large bowl, with the whisk attachment, cream the butter until broken up and very smooth. Add the white sugar and cream together on high for 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
4. Add the apple sauce, yogurt, vanilla extract and mix on medium speed to combine.
5. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until it just comes together. Add in the milk and mix to combine. Don’t over mix.
6. Evenly divide the batter into the two cake pans and bake for 30-45 minutes, until a tooth pick is stuck in the middle and comes out clean. Set aside to cook, then let cool until completely cooled on a wire rack.
7. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the butter with the paddle attachment until smooth. Add in the icing sugar and mix on medium high until very smooth. Add in the beet brine and mix until bright pink! You might need to add more brine or a splash of water to adjust the consistency. It should be very thick. Ice the cake and decorate it as you please. Slice it up and enjoy the work of art you created!
