Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized, raw Beetroot
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Caster sugar
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F). Grease and line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking tin with parchment paper.
Peel and grate the beetroot using a fine grater. Set aside. You should have approximately 1 cup of grated beetroot.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat together the caster sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Fold the grated beetroot into the wet mixture until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the beetroot slice to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into 12 equal squares and serve.
