Ingredients
- 200 g Cooked beetroot (about 2-3 cooked beetroots)
- 1 2/3 cups Cake flour
- 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 1/3 cups Vegetable oil
- Butter for greasing or non-stick baking spray
- 1/2 cup Dark chopped chocolate
- 1/2 cup Double Cream (also known as heavy cream)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F, and grease a large loaf pan with the butter or spray. Stick the pan in the fridge to cool.
- Grate the cooked beetroot and place in the mixing bowl. Add all the other ingredients except for the cream and oil. Start the mixer up.
- With the mixer running, slowly add the oil. Ensure everything is incorporated. Then, pour the mixture into the chilled pan. Place in the oven and bake for about 1-1 1/2hr min, or until a skewer comes out clean. Be warned, it could take a bit longer than normal due to the beetroot being quite dense and wet.
- When cooled, slice, plate and pour on the cream. Enjoy.
