Preparation

Step 1

Pre heat the oven to 180˚C/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 23cm loose bottomed cake tin.

Step 2

Chop the beetroot into quarters and puree in a food processor.

Step 3

Break the chocolate into small pieces and put to one side - some larger pieces will give the cake a great texture.

Step 4

Add the remaining ingredients, including the broken chocolate, to the processor and whizz until well mixed. Pour into the prepared cake tin and lightly level out the surface.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. The surface of the cake may have cracked a little. Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes in the tin before removing to a cooling rack.
