Chocolate And Beetroot Cake

During the war, chocolate and cocoa were in very short supply the sweet ration was 12oz a month per person. Beetroot was considered a sweet alternative for chocolate. This cake is a wonderful opportunity to feel healthy whilst eating chocolate at the same time.
300g (11oz) cooked and peeled beetroot.

• 3 large eggs.
• 80g(3oz) good cocoa ( we use green and blacks).
• 200ml (7fl oz) sunflower oil.
• Pinch of salt.
• 200g castor sugar.
• 180g ( 6oz) flour,
• 3 tsp baking powder.

Method
Mix the beetroot, eggs, sunflower oil and salt together in a blender, tip into a bowl, then add the flour, sifting it in with the baking powder and the cocoa, and then folding them altogether.
Place the mixture in a greased loose ring cake tin and bake in a pre heated oven at 150degrees (300 F, gas mark 2) for about 50 minutes, or until the knife comes out clean.
When cool, ice with chocolate icing. We like to decorate our beetroot cake with real edible flowers such as pansies.

New Soup in the shop!

We’ve just finished making our 1st batch of  russian borscht. Available in the Farmshop today.
