The combination of rich chocolate, earthy beetroot, and creamy avocado creates a dessert that is both satisfying and surprisingly nutritious.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized beetroots (200g)
• 150g all-purpose flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 150g sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 ripe avocado
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 100ml coconut milk

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a cake tin. Peel and finely grate the beetroots, then set them aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder. Gradually add the grated beetroot, coconut milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the avocado frosting. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado with the lemon juice until smooth. Once the cake has cooled, spread the avocado frosting evenly over the top. Slice and serve, enjoying the rich, chocolatey flavor with a hint of earthy beetroot and creamy avocado.
