This seems to mean that when it is boiled and pureed it turns into pink mush rather than dark red mush! (However it doesn't stain your hands, which has got to be a bonus!)
I was looking through the Abel & Cole website for ideas of what to do with all of these beetroot and decided on Sara Blackmore's beetroot cake rather than another chocolate cake.
It is certainly moist, and is nice enough, but isn't the best cake I've ever made. A little too sweet and, despite the mixed spice and nutmeg, possibly needs a little something else.
However, it still hit the spot at 11am this morning whilst Thomas slept after a hectic morning at Tumble Tots!

Your blog posts make me hungry!! Tomorrow I am going to make the weighing egg cake, with shells on and see if we have a better result ;)
We have Tumble Tots today. :-) Looking forward to wearing Rose out, but looking at the weather, the journey's going to be awful. :-(
I've never made a beetroot cake, but want to try courgette cake sometime. Beetroot is on my list of evil foods, I'm afraid!
