Recently some photos of mine were bought for a food mag here in Sydney, but rather frustratingly I found out at the same time, some of these said pics were part of the three folders of images I had deleted by accident 2 months ago (*a-r-g-h-*), I have tried to recover them using many a recently downloaded 'Reclaim your treasured files trash can, 100% guaranteed!' computer program, but alas, to no avail... Anyway, I recreated the pics today and as part of the shoot I had some extra shots - the cake in the pic, is not actually part of the pics purchased so I thought I may as-well do something with them and post them on my blog as the recipe is a winner.
In real life, I try to eat as healthily enough on a day-to-day basis and recently with my baking I've been trying to get more goodness into the mix. Aka - I made some fabulous muffins last week into which I added pureed pumpkin instead of sugar and they turned out brilliantly. I'll try to make a second batch in the coming weeks and post some pics up along with the recipe. Until then, a super moist, incredibly terrific tasting chocolate beetroot cake.

Love your recipes! And the photos are great!
All I can say is - I'm beginning to understand why you've taken up running!! ;) These last few desserts you've posted up - OMG - incredible!!
yum yum yum. these just look so good. i'm hungry now!
Congrats on having your gorgeous pictures in a magazine!
You made me laugh! So does it mean that if I eat a whole bar of chocolate and finish it with one carrot, the carrot will negate all the fat? Or do I have to mix them together? love this math! :)
I have to give this cake a try, I love its colour!
LOL @ Sari, yes absolutely but you do have to eat them together, whilst doing a handstand.... ;)
I love this cake, I've only had it once before & its something else. As always Katie, beautiful pics.
love this chocolate goodness!! LOVE the dark background too!!
Truly amazing!
Katie, Congrats on your pics being bought and so glad you could recreate :))
Hmm.. beetroot eh?! I have only recently deigned to consider it edible.. perhaps I shud try it with chocolate and if my new found like wanes or waxes...
gorgeous photos.. love the second one so much!!
love the recipe and the photos! can't wait to hear more about these magical muffins...
These look so delicious - I love the chocolate on black.
Also love love that you post your recipes with your incredible photography. Looking forward to the muffins!
You read my mind, Katie! Was just thinking yesterday about how I need to look up a chocolate beetroot cake to make sometime next week. Im excited!!!
Great photos Katie! It all looks oh so gooood!!!
Thanks again everyone, I'm seriously going to have to cut back on all the sweeties I've been featuring lately as Summer is coming here in Oz... and seeing as I now live in Sydney, if I don't go to the beach at least once this Summer, I'll be considered a freak, so bikini-guilt diet starts next week... *_*
Asha, you can't actually taste the beetroot, it really just adds moistness to the cake. Like with a Guinness chocolate cake - there's no actual taste of the stout.
What a marvelous recipe, Katie! Dark and rich...although it IS made with veggies! :)
Can't wait to read about your pumpkin muffins. It's getting to be that time!
Polish people love beetroot and I love chocolate so I think I will have to try this one ... (and your blog is a delight !!)
OMG this looks so decadent and sinful and amazing~! I looove this!!
Your pictures are truly amazing - you are such an inspiration!
Oh, my. I just so happen to have a stack of cooked beetroot in the fridge...
Yes, please, the muffins...
These look so delicious! fantastic photos!
I couldnt resist,had to try a recipe and we loved it.

Oh my God, chocolate beetroot cake with silk chocolate ganache looks absolutely alien and delicious!
This looks so delicious -- I can't wait to try it. How much baking powder goes into the recipe?
I cant believe I missed this yesterday. What an intriguing mix! The images are magic. cheers kari
Hi all - thanks for the comments, delighted to hear so many success stories with this cake since I posted it up. One thing thing - I have amended the recipe above to as I had the flour type and baking powder listings wrong. All fixed now. :)
Hello :)
I've been a hiding in the dark reader for a while, but I love your blog! Tried this recipe out last week and it turned out amazing! Don't have a food processor so shredded the beetroot like you would for a carrot cake, and the slightly crunchy bits of beetroot off-set the sweetness very well, thanks for a great recipe!
Here what i found -> vision correction
Beetroot is an amazing 'secret' ingredient and this recipe is awesome. Thankyou. I also add it, grated, to red onion marmalade to deepen the colour. And I make a mean beetroot icecream that has a glorious deeply red colour and tastes like a cross between raspberry and bramble. Very yum.

Oh my God. It's so delicious...
