Dark Chocolate Ginger Beetroot Cake

I recently had a whole load of beetroot in my veggie box and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it but had heard that you can use it in a cake. I found this recipe on the Abel & Cole website (they deliver organic veg boxes) and I’m pleased to say the results were very successful!

The recipe is quite straight forward but you will need lots of space and a few different bowls for all the different ingredients. I made a few changes to the recipe, I used margarine instead of butter (for a lighter cake) and melted my chocolate instead of grating it. The finished cake was moist and very chocolatey, I ate mine on it’s own but I think the crème fraiche would suit it very well.
