This is an adaptation of one of my mother's specials.
Serves 12-16 depending on how big a piece you like.
Ingredients:
185g SR flour
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp mixed spice
1 cup brown sugar
185 g butter, melted and cooled
3 eggs
300g fresh beetroot, peeled
250g (1 cup) marscapone (or cream cheese)
½ cup cream
2 tbs icing sugar
Method:
[line]- Preheat oven to 180C. Butter and line two 18cm tins (or two ring tins).
- Chop beetroot finely, about speed 6 for several seconds. Add eggs, butter and sugar. Mix a few seconds on speed 3-4.
- Sift flour and spices into bowl. Add sugar. Mix gently til combined on speed 2.
- Spread equally into tins. Bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes, until skewer comes out clean. Stand for 5 minutes then turn out onto rack.
- When cool, beat cream, marscapone and icing sugar together til thick. Spread half over one cake, place other cake on top; spread remaining cream on top.
This also works beautifully as muffins. I also add extra ground cloves as I'm a sucker for cloves.

I once ate a beetroot and carrot cake! It was delicious and I have been searching for the recipe or similar since. I haven't tried beetroot and chocolate cake yet. ;D :-))
