by Ooooby Crew
Directions
Pre heat oven to 180C. Boil beetroots until soft, cool and remove skins then blend or mash until fairly smooth. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and oil. Slowly add the cooked beet puree, melted chocolate and vanilla into the egg mixture. Beat until just combined. Sift the cocoa. Add this and the almond meal, baking soda and salt to the beet batter. Fold until everything is combined - do not over-mix. Oil a 10 inch cake pan & pour the cake batter in. Bake for approximately 50 minutes - the cake is ready when a tooth pick or skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Such an amazing project which results in amazing veg to feed us throughout the week ! It has also introduced us to veg we might otherwise not have tried and love them now. And it's all local and chemical free! Cannot recommend it enough :)
