Beetroot cake of choccyness

Beetroot Chocolate cake

The beetroot cake iced x

Ingredients

180 gr all purpose flour
240 gr sugar
75 gr cocoa powder
20 gr baking power
250 gr cooked and grated beetroot
220 ml corn oil
1 cup vegan milk

Beautiful finely grated beetroot


Cake tin greased and cocoa powder coated
 I just used a basic vegan margarine icing for the middle and top x 

Method:
1. Pour the dry ingredients into a bowl (flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder) and mix well.
2. Place the liquid ingredients and the grated beetroot in another bowl. 
3. Combine them all together and pour the mixture into a cake tin, which has been greased and coated in cocoa powder. 
4. Bake in preheated oven set at 180 degrees for 40-50 min. Do the toothpick test, if it comes out clean its ready. 
5. Leave to cool completely before removing from the cake tin. Cool on  wire rack. Its a very moist lovely rich choccy cake. I cut mine in half through the centre to ice the middle and jazzed it up with pink and sprinkles.
