Recipe Chocolate Beetroot Cake

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

This has me intrigued. I love beetroot but would never have thought of putting it in a cake let alone with chocolate!

Looks wonderful doesn't it!

Wow, that looks really moist and delicious! Chocolate and beetroot sounds odd at first but I bet it adds a lot of texture and moisture to the sponge. Does it count as one of my five-a-day?

It looks extremely rich, not sure I would fancy trying it but then I am not a fan of chocolate cake anyway.

probably if you worked out how much beetroot was per slice and ate enough slices!

I think I've had beetroot and chocolate cake, and very nice it was too. Like carrot, or courgette, the beetroot adds moisture, without tasting too strongly of vegetable.

i tried it on a menu a few months ago,beetroot and chocolate brownie,it took a bit of convincing people,and the over in vogue was chocolate and chilli,
along the vegetable root i have done parsnip and orange cake that was quite nice

Chilli chocolate can be delicious if done properly, I have had some horrid stuff before now.

We had varying degrees of chilli chocolate at a the South Devon chilli farm ,different experience,but never got the hang of chilli ice cream

That looks very nice. I have heard of using beetroot in chocolate cake before, but have never tried it myself. But after looking at that I may well have a go.

I agree with trying different variations but chilli ice cream is just 1 step too far

It looks good, does it taste like chocolate?
