Beetroot and Chocolate Loaf RecipeOrigin: English Period: Traditional |
|
This is a traditional English recipe and though it might sound a little weird, it works very well. The secret is to use fresh beetroot (which makes the cake extremely moist) and the darkest chocolate you can find (at least 80% cocoa solids). Ingredients:
240g self-raising flour 
Beetroot and Chocolate Loaf Preparation:Method:Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Meanwhile place the chocolate and butter in a bowl and set over a pan of lightly simmering water to melt. When melted stir to combine then add the sugar and beetroot. Lightly whisk the eggs and add the chocolate mix to this. Stir the egg and chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter then turn into a well-greased 1kg loaf tin. Place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 50 minutes, or until firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tin then tip onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely. |
