Dark Secret Chocolate Cake

Saturday 2nd October 2010 12:20 PM

Dark Secret Chocolate Cake made using a food processor and has a little 'hidden extra' ingredient.

Ingredients

This recipe serves 8-10.

200g unsalted butter - softened
200g golden caster sugar
160g self-raising flour
40g cocoa - sieved
150g cooked beetroot (without vinegar) - diced
4 medium-sized eggs

Equipment

food processor
rubber spatula
900g loaf tin
loaf tin liner or greaseproof paper

How to make it

1. Heat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Place all the ingredients in the food processor. Whizz for 30 seconds until smooth.

2. Put the liner in the loaf tin. Pour the smooth thick mixture into the lined loaf tin scraping out all of it from the food processor bowl. Take care with the blade. Wash it separately and return it to storage straight away.

3. Bake the cake for 1-11/4 hours or until firm on top and when tested with a skewer, it comes out 'clean'. Leave to cool. Store in an airtight tin. If left in a cool place for 2-3 days the cake becomes more moist.
