Directions
Chocolate Beetroot Cake, The title sounds strange, but the mixture of red beetroot (beets) and chocolate gives a wonderfully earthy flavour, not to sweet and for those who don;t like beetroot you really cannot taste the beetroot taste From Delicious Magazine July 2004, First time I have made this cake and it was just superb I have now just made another one and Hubby has commented is that the same one as last time, I said do you mean the beetroot cake, he said WOT DO YOU MEAN, , , , , , veges in a cake, , , , say no more, mmmmm, I made this today and it’s fantastic – the only change I made was to replace the flour with gluten free flour and it still turned out perfectly Thank you for this recipe, it’s going onto the regular rotation (while there is still beetroot in the garden )
