Amazing Chocolate Beetroot Cake

Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened, non-dairy milk

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 3/4 cups white sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup coconut oil

2/3 cup beetroot puree (you can also use pumpkin/sweet potato puree, or apple/pear sauce)

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup boiling water

Instructions

 

  1. Mix non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar in a bowl, set aside to curdle (this effectively makes a non-dairy buttermilk).

  2. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, oil, beetroot and vanilla. Stir until mixed well.

  3. Add apple cider vinegar/milk mixture, mixing well.

  4. Add boiling water, mix until smooth. The batter will be very runny, but it is supposed to be!

  5. Pour into lined baking pans (or cupcake pan with liners).

  6. Bake at 180C/350F for 30-35 minutes (for cake), 20-25 minutes (cupcakes). 

  7. When it passes the toothpick test, remove from oven, place on a cooking rack. Allow to fully cool before decorating.
