Tip
Health Benefits of Raw Beetroot - Its high in vitamin C and iron and as if that wasn't enough, it has been shown to contain the compound betaine, which enhances the production of the body’s natural mood-lifter seratonin. So it would seem that snacking on raw beetroot mudcake can literally make you smile!!

Comments
No need to bake this cake...its a raw desert.
Yes I have subsituted rice malt for maple many times...yes adjust the amount to 3/4 of the quanitity
Hi. Can I sub rice malt syrup for coconut syrup or maple syrup? If so, Would I use less maple syrup as it is sweeter?
Do I need to bake the cake and if so what oBen temperature and for how long?
Hi Learning Journey. I have also used raw cacao instead of carob powder and it gave a very similar result...
Hi Steph, This looks like a great recipee however I'm sensitive to carob (basically gives me a migraine) was wondering what you could substitute to get a similar result.
Fantastic cake. I think I will use a different icing next time - coconut butter based
Fantastic - its a favourite in our house too.
I find melting the cacao butter in the microwave to be the easiest.
Hi Steph,
She LOVED it! It was way out of my comfort zone, and I even thought it tasted pretty good! Thank you sooooo much for sharing the recipe!
By the way, how do you recommend melting the nut butter? I wasn't able to do it in my Thermie, and it took more than two minutes (in 15 sec intervals) in the microwave. I had never used it before.
Thanks for the tip about the cashews.
I will let you know what she thinks of the cake!
