    I used almond meal instead of the spelt flour (as I had none) to keep it gluten free and it was still really yummy! tmrc_emoticons.;)

    Have made this half a dozen times now, always a big hit!

    I just use plain flour. And ice it with EDC ganache tmrc_emoticons.)

    Just ate a warm slice cooling for the oven, yum.

    Happy to recommend it on my page, but could I be a pain and ask that you edit the ingrediants so the flour is in front of the oil and eggs? I nearly forgot to add it, just remembered at the end when the mix didn't look big enough! And can you add when the oil goes in, for those that aren't confident enough just to chuck it in with the eggs and hope for the best?

    thankyou! tmrc_emoticons.)

    Hi Nessie, Thankyou so much for sharing this recipe! This cake is so moist and delicious, I know I will be making it again many times Big Smile I had only 200g of beetroot handy, and I made up the other 100g with zucchini - and the result is fantastic!! I got the idea from my mother's chocolate zucchini cake recipe. Next time I will try using beetroot only so I can compare the results Big Smile At which point do you add the oil? tmrc_emoticons.~  I took a guess and added it in before the final mix. My batter needed a bit extra time before the consistency was right. Maybe I should have added it with the eggs? I couldn't get my hands on any whole spelt or wholegrain spelt flour, so I substituted organic white spelt flour. I checked it after 35 mins and my cake was not even close to being cooked through, I ended up baking it for a total of about 1 hour before my skewer came out clean. But the finished result is sensational. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Best of all my hubby will have no idea he is actually eating vegetables! tmrc_emoticons.;)
