The Rose Family's Beetroot Chocolate Cake
- 1 large Beetroot
- 1 Egg
- 65 grams Granulated sugar
- 55 grams Vegetable oil
- 1 from half a lemon Lemon zest
- 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 75 grams Cake flour
- 25 grams Cocoa powder
- 3/4 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 Cream Cheese Frosting
- Peel the beetroot and either julienne or finely grate it.
- Pat away any excess liquid with a paper towel.
- Sift together the dry ingredients.
- Beat the egg, add it to the granulated sugar, and whisk the mixture together until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
- Then pour in the vegetable oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice in that order.
- Mix the beetroot into the mixture from Step 2.
- Lastly, mix in the dry ingredients, and pour the batter into a tin that has been lightly greased with butter.
- Bake the cake for 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180C.
- Pierce the baked cake with a skewer, and if the skewer comes out clean, it's ready.
- I recommend icing it with this Cream Cheese Frostingonce the cake has cooled.
- You could either sandwich 2 slices of this cake together with the above frosting, or make a simple icing from equal parts cream cheese and butter with a little powdered sugar to sweeten.
