Recipe please!
I'll pop it in't recipes section :)
Sounds yummy, I know what we're having for dessert tonite! Also good is redcurrant and beetroot jelly for on sandwiches.
In case anyone is interested in other recipes for beets (I too made a cake with my Puffin Farm veg box beetroots). I substituted the carrots for grated beetroot in this recipe...my family went mad for it!Quote:

2 large eggs

half tsp salt
2 tsps mixed spice
2 tsps baking powder
4oz sultanas
3oz chopped walnuts
Made a whipped cream and icing sugar frosting for filling.
8inch round cake tin
180c, 350f or gas mark 4
Melt marg, stir in grated beetroot and sugar + add beaten eggs.
Sieve flour, salt, baking powder, mixed spice into mixture. Beat until smooth batter*.
Mix in sultanas and walnuts
* If batter is dry add 2 tbsp of milk (I didn't need to, but its in the recipe)!
Get mixture in the cake tin and level'ish.
The mixture is bright pink from beets, but once cooked its not that colour.
Bake cake for 1 hour (took mine out after 55mins after testing with a skewer).
Once cooled the cake can be cut + filled with your choice topping.
Delish..enjoy!
