[Lumpy]

I know that this may be on here already but I can't be harsed to do a search so...........does anyone have a good beetroot cake recipe I can have a go at?

Please bear in mind that I am not a great cook and have never tasted a cake made from beetroot before.

Thank You in advance. xx

How did your cake making go? which recipe did you use?

[Mrs Bee]

150g grated raw beetroot
200ml sunflower or groundnut oil
250g caster sugar
3 medium eggs separated
3 tablespoons milk
100g hazelnuts
200g plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon each of ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg

2x 20cm greased and base lined sandwich tins

Oven 170C fan or 190C gas 5

Put a teaspoon of the grated beetroot in a cup and cover with 2 teaspoons of boiling water.
Oil, caster whisked then add egg yolks and milk and fold in the beetroot and nuts.

Sift flour and spices and baking powder into mix and combine.

Whisk egg whites until stiff and fold into mixture.
Divide between 2 tins and bake 30 mins or so until cooked.

Frosting
180g unsalted butter creamed with 150g icing sugar.
Then combine with 450g of cream cheese or curd cheese or mascarpone and the beetroot liquid, and 1 teaspoon vanilla essence.

I have a beetroot and chocolate cake somewhere but at the moment I can't find it.

That is the trouble with having 400+ cookbooks.
