How to Make Rich Chocolate Beetroot Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 25cm springform pan.
  2. Finely chop 200g cooked beetroot in a food processor until finely diced.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs and 200g caster sugar together until light and creamy (about 5 minutes with an electric mixer).
  4. Gradually beat in 150ml vegetable oil until well combined.
  5. Melt 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids or higher) in a microwave or double boiler. Let cool slightly.
  6. Stir the cooled melted chocolate and chopped beetroot into the egg mixture.
  7. In a separate bowl, sift together 200g plain flour, 50g cocoa powder, and 1 tsp baking soda. Gently fold into the chocolate beetroot mixture until just combined.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, dust generously with icing sugar and serve. Enjoy!
