Chocolate Beetroot cake


I found this great recipe online today for a chocolate cake made with Beetroot - very yummy! Tim asked for the recipe so I thought I would post it on the blog - Happy Cooking!
Ingredients
50g bitter cocoa powder
180g plain flour
1½tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
250g caster sugar
300g cooked fresh beetroot
3 eggs
200ml corn oil
1tsp vanilla extract
Heat the oven to 180C/Gas mark 4.
Butter and flour an 18cm (7in) round or square cake tin. Sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Mix in the sugar and set aside. Purée the beetroot in a food processor. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the corn oil and vanilla and beat until smooth. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the beetroot mixture into the well. Lightly mix, using a rubber spatula, and pour into the prepared cake tin. Bake for 40 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. It won’t rise a great deal and the top may crack a bit.
NB
I did muffin sized cakes and cooked them for 30mins instead
