Indulgent Beetroot Chocolate Cake: A Surprising, Decadent Treat

Deliciously Unique Beetroot and Chocolate Cake

Today, I am excited to share a surprisingly delightful recipe for beetroot and chocolate cake. This unlikely combination of ingredients creates a moist and rich cake that will surely impress your taste buds.

To start, gather the following ingredients with approximate weights: 250g cooked and mashed beetroot, 200g dark chocolate, 150g unsalted butter, 150g sugar, 3 eggs, 150g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

For kitchen tools, you will need:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• saucepan
• baking pan

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C and greasing a baking pan. In a saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and butter over low heat until smooth. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.

Next, fold in the mashed beetroot, flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before slicing and serving.

The total weight of the cooked cake is approximately 800g, with 8 servings. Each serving weighs around 100g. An approximate calorie count per serving is 300 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some sea salt on top of the cake before serving. The salty contrast with the sweet chocolate and earthy beetroot enhances the flavors and makes this cake truly unique.

I encourage you to give this beetroot and chocolate cake a try and feel free to experiment with different toppings or additions to make it your own. Enjoy!
