How to Prepare Fudgy Chocolate Cake With Beetroot Frosting [Vegan]
For the cake
- Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC (400ºF). Wash the beetroot but place it unpeeled on a baking try and roast for 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack. Peel the beetroot: I impaled the beet with one fork and used another fork to scrape of the skin. Reserve some of the juices released during roasting to colour the icing.
- Puree the peeled, roasted beet in a food processor or blender, adding a little splash of water (only a little) to help the process along.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 190ºC (375ºF). Grease a 20cm (8 inch) round cake tin (pan).
- Curdle the milk by adding the apple cider vinegar to it. Set aside for a few minutes.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another, including the now curdled milk. Fold the dry ingredients and the pureed beetroot into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain.
- Pour the cake batter into the greased tin. Bake for 28-30 minutes. If you want the cake to be quite moist, I suggest baking it for 27-28 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack. When the cake is completely cooled, release it from its tin. Cover with icing only when you serve.
- Whisk it all together until runny but thick. Pour over each slice of cake when serving.
Notes
If you pour the icing all over the cake, as in the photos above, the icing will seep into the cake after a few hours. Better to just pour it over each slice as you serve it. Recipe adapted from Minimalist Baker’s Fudgy Beetroot Chocolate Cupcakes.

Marti Becerra Darby – here’s a good recipe for your next batch of beetroot.
This recipe looks good aside from the use of canola oil;, canola is barely a food and totally genetically modified, truly compassionate diets would avoid this ingredient altogether, especially if it is not organic. GMOs are a terrifying issue.
