Wicked Chocolate Beet Cake
Chocolate cake is always a winner, but this recipe makes a wickedly rich, moist and earthy dessert that has a unique and beautiful flavour. Don't be scared by the addition of beetroot, as like sweet potato, it adds moisture, sweetness and a new depth of flavour. The cakes and ganache can be made in advance and put together just before serving, and can both be frozen. Go on, indulge!
