1
You will also need an 8-inch or 20-cm round cake tin (at least 3 inches or 7cm deep).
2
Preheat oven at 180 C or 350 F.
3
In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and sugar (sieve if necessary).
4
Blitz the beetroot in the blender and add the eggs.
5
Melt the butter and chocolate together, either in the microwave or over hot water.
6
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool a little, then add to the flour mixture with the beetroot and eggs.
7
Turn into the prepared cake tin and bake for around 40-50 minutes until a skewer comes out (mostly) clean-what's a chocolate cake if it's not a bit gooey in the middle?
8
Cool and turn out.
9
To make the icing, mix the cream cheese, butter and sugar, either by hand or in a mixer, and apply liberally to the cake.
10
Relax, and absorb the gasps of amazement-and bask in the compliments.
