Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams beetroot
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Peel the beetroot and grate it finely using a grater or a food processor.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Stir in the melted chocolate and butter mixture until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the grated beetroot until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the beetroot slice to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
