it looks like a chocolate cake, it smells like a chocolate cake....it tastes like a chocolate cake. Dense, moist and very moorish the beetroot gives this chocolate cake a dense texture and lovely red velvet tinge.
Recipe type: cakes and bakes

  • 1 large cooked beetroot (approx 175g)
  • 100g dark chocolate, minimum70% cocoa

  3. blend the beetroot coarsely in a food processor, alternatively grate
  4. sieve the flour, ground almond, baking powder and cocoa into a large mixing bowl
