Sara Blackmore's Beetroot Cake
8-10 people
Sara is the wife of our Devon-based beetroot farmer. Her husband, Cyril, wrote to us raving about this recipe. He says it will convert those who aren't quite sure about beetroot. Sara inherited this recipe from her mother. She says, "I sometimes add some cocoa powder or chocolate to the cake ingredients to make chocolate beetroot cake even nicer!!! I don't usually bother with the icing it's nice just as it is."
