Rich Chocolate Cake - delicious chocolate cake with beetroot which gives the cake a perfect bake without the need for butter and sugar. Delicious served with berries and a little light cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I expect we have all heard of beetroot being used in chocolate cake, it sounds a unusual combination but it really does work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had some cooked beets in my fridge that really needed to be used up, I love buying the little vacuum packs of cooked beets at Costco as beetroot is a great ingredient for adding into salads, smoothies for the kids (yep you read that correctly) and one of my favourites in a sandwich with turkey slices and coleslaw (it's divine). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in a chocolate cake - the beetroot has an amazing effect of giving the cake the perfect texture, especially when using oats instead of plain flour as I have here in this recipe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
