Reply ↓ lovinghomemade February 22, 2014 • 12:26 pm Thank you Reply ↓ saucygander February 19, 2014 • 11:06 pm That is a lot of whisking! phew! Looks like it was worth the effort though. Reply ↓ lovinghomemade February 22, 2014 • 12:27 pm I would have been very upset if it hadn’t been good! I am quite lazy when it comes to needing lots of different elements to make one thing… Reply ↓ laurasmess February 20, 2014 • 1:03 am Yum!!!! This looks absolutely divine. And definitely, one slice is one serve of veggies right? I think I need three… Reply ↓ lovinghomemade February 22, 2014 • 12:27 pm At least! Reply ↓ tinywhitecottage February 20, 2014 • 2:20 am I have just “got” to make one of these, it’s absolutely wonderful. Reply ↓ lovinghomemade February 22, 2014 • 12:28 pm Hope you enjoy it!

Reply ↓ lovinghomemade February 22, 2014 • 12:30 pm Thank you! Reply ↓ brushneedleandwhisk February 20, 2014 • 2:05 pm This looks amazing, I do love a beetroot and chocolate cake! Which Nigel S book was this recipe from? Another great beetroot and chocolate recipe is in ‘Eat, Cook, Smile’ by Bill Collison. His recipe is for a sandwich cake which has cherry jam as the filling – delicious! I’ll definitely give yours a go, looks delicious. Reply ↓ lovinghomemade February 22, 2014 • 11:24 pm Hi, I actually found the recipe on the internet as I don’t have any Nigel Slater books – I definitely need to get some as I have made a few things by him and they have been great. Thanks for the other recipe, will definitely have a go at that, I love cherry jam!

Not exactly a Balinese speciality though! Maybe they had read Nigel’s book too. Reply ↓ lovinghomemade April 17, 2014 • 2:57 pm Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Reply ↓ Liz October 12, 2020 • 6:18 am I love this cake, but Nigel has over complicated it like many chefs.The beetroot does not need to be cooked at all. It cooks while the cake is baking, and makes for a moist cake without an overpowering beetroot flavour. I grate it finely in my Thermomix but a regular grater is just fine.It’s an absolute winner this cake! Give it a go if you haven’t tried it yet. Reply ↓ lovinghomemade October 12, 2020 • 3:27 pm That’s great to know, thank you! Will be doing the same, particularly as I have some beetroot that I have been meaning to cook for ages and just haven’t got round to! Reply ↓
