And the beet goes on
After years in the doldrums more of us are seeing the beauty of beets.
Inspired by this beautiful recipe video by Tiger in a Jar, I baked the perfect cake that even committed beet-haters gobbled up with gusto.
It’s a terribly easy recipe to follow only you’ll need to improvise on cooking time and temperature in accordance to your oven. I used a rather posh Mast Bothers fleur de sel chocolate but any semi-sweet variety will do.
The cake’s got two sticks of butter in it, so it’s not as righteous as beet cake sounds. Next time, I’ll send it over the edge with a decadent chocolate icing.
