Ingredients




140 g (1 cup) Plain Flour
80 g (3 oz) Dark Chocolate
1 Large Cooked or Fresh Beetroot
75 g (1/3 cup) Unsalted Butter
100 g (½ cup) Caster Sugar
150 g (1 cup) Apple Puree
2 Teaspoons unsweetened Cocoa Powder
¼ Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Baking Powder

Preparation

1 If you buy fresh beetroot, you have two options: 1. Peel it, boil it & puree it 2. Peel it, grate it & use it 2 If you buy ready cooked beetroot, then you simply puree it in a food processor. You can also grate it but it’s messier. 3 Once your beetroot is sorted, move onto the chocolate. Melt it over a pan of simmering water (bain-marie) altogether with the butter. When melted, add the caster sugar and mix until well blended (the sugar will not dissolve so don’t worry about this). 4 Put the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well. Pour in the apple puree, chocolate mix & pureed (or grated) beetroot. With a wooden spoon combine all the ingredients together. 5 Pour into a square cake tin that has been lined with baking paper. Transfer into a preheated oven and bake at 190⁰C/375⁰F for 50 mins or until ready. 6 Once ready, let it cool at room temperature, slice and serve! 7 Enjoy!
