Chocolate fudge beetroot traybake
This is a delicious traybake that is irresistibly fudgy and moist thanks to the addition of grated beetroot! I get asked to make this all the time. Lovely flavour! If desired, you can ice the slices with your favourite chocolate icing.

was a bit concerned when i initially baked this as it seemed quite wet when i cut it. when i looked closely though the crumb was completely cooked and it was the beetroot that made it fudgy. and it was delicious! Took it into work and it went down a storm. topped it with icing made with 140g icing sugar and 140g unsalted butter creamed together and 100g melted chocolate mixed in. covered it with a food depth of icing - not too much and not too little. i would highly recommend this cake. - 12 Mar 2013
I was a bit apprehensive as I was a little short of hunny so just added a bit more fluid. Also I used beetroot pulp from my juicer as I wanted a way to use up rather than throw away. The result was yummy !!! Very pleased and makes loads to share !! Will definitely make again . - 11 Jul 2016
Far too much liquid so reduced oil and milk. 150 ml oil, 150 ml milk. - 13 Oct 2015
