Recipe for a cake containing a vegetable.

[YoYo]

I've only made that recipie once. Not sure if omitting it would be good...when I made it the mixture was really thin and didn't really rise a great deal.....(I don't think I' put enough stuff in...I didn't have enough flour or sugar)

BUT it was really nice and really moist. DS loved it...even after he realised there was grated zucchini in it!

You can use 1/4 cup less sugar, and add 1/4 cup sweet potato and 1/4 cup beetroot for a moist delicious cake!!! I use it in chocolate cake

I made my chocolate beetroot cake. I used a recipe from allrecipes. It has an awfullot of sugar but I was nervous to cut any out first time in case it tasted foul. It's pretty yummy but would be fine with a bit less sugar too.

100g drinking chocolate
230g self-raising flour
200g caster sugar
100g dark chocolate, minimum 60% cocoa solids broken into pieces.
125g unsalted butter
250g cooked beetroot, grated
3 large eggs
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Butter and flour a 18cm round cake tin.
2. Sift flour and drinking chocolate together in a bowl, then stir in the sugar.
3. In a bowl suspended over a pot of hot water, melt the chocolate and butter.
4. Add the beetroot and the eggs and mix well.
5. Eventually add the beetroot mix to the dry ingredients and mix well.
6. Pour the mix into the prepared tin and bake for 50 mins until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in tin for ten minutes.
7. Decorate by dusting with icing sugar or it is delicious served warm with custard.
