This cake is an unusual mix of ingredients which merge well to produce a moist recipe full of goodness. The mixture can also be made in a loaf tin and served as a dessert with chocolate custard or ice cream or for tea with thick cream.  (It will then take about 30 minutes to cook.) If you have a guest who says they don’t like beetroot, don’t tell them the ingredients as they will never know. They might even change their mind.
 
 
  • Pre-heat oven to 180°C and place paper cases into muffin tins.
  • Whizz the beetroot into a purée and add the eggs and  oil.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl and add the beetroot purée mixture.
  • Fill the paper cases 2/3rd full with the mixture.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
  • Serve dusted with cocoa powder.
