i have had 2 friends over for a few days and made the cake on thurs - there's not much left now!!! ;D we all really liked it though i think i would put less oil in last time as its quite greasy. my friend's a chef and she said to start by putting 3/4 of the recepie amount in and going from there. also thought i might try it as a bit of a tray bake rather than a round cake.

I passed this recipe onto a friend and she made it as a tray bake and topped it with a mixture of cream cheese and melted chocolate. It turned out far nicer than when I made it.

A few months ago I came across this recipe on another thread, it's been a firm favorite in our house ever since - remember beetroot is low GI! I think it needs to be remembered.

The only thing I've changed is that I cook it as a cake in a swiss roll tin, rather than seperate muffins. Sometimes I sandwich it with some black cherry preserve and it's lovely with greek yoghurt too.

By the way, mines just come out of the oven!:D

I have never made this, but have tried some at a friend's house. It was lovely and if I wasn't trying to stay off cake, would definately make it.

I remember making this for my mum years ago and she said "I'm not eating that!". Needless to say there were several others who helped me devour it in no time

Yes, I've made the chocolate beetroot cake (as muffins). In fact, my lads took some in to school to offer round their friends to guess the mystery ingredient :rotfl:

I've also made the Campbell's Mystery Cake - or rather, my d11yo and I made it. D11yo had an absolutely hilarious time offering the cake to his dad but without letting on the mystery ingredient - his face when d11yo told him what was in it was a picture! :rotfl:
