There is this one originally posted by Sue.



So another Beetroot cake recipe, I found this on the Riverford website and it turned out beautifully. One of the few I could find that used raw beetroot.
250g self-raising flour sieved
2tsp baking powder
150g soft brown sugar
100g sultanas
200g beetroot peeled and grated (about two medium sized)
150ml vegetable or sunflower oil
2 medium sized eggs beaten
Preheat oven to 180C, 350F or Gas Mark 4
Grease and line an 8" loose based cake tin (I used a 2lb loaf tin for ease of cutting, worked just as well)
Mix together the flour, baking powder and soft brown sugar in a large bowl
Add the sultanas and grated beetroot
Beat the oil and the eggs together and add to the bowl
Combine with either a wooden spoon or electric mixer (found I needed the mixer as the beetroot tends to stick together)
Spoon the mixture into the tin and bake for 1-1 1/4 hours.

This rose beautifully and tastes delicious, the cake flecked with red so looks very pretty too. Might add some spice when I make another one - I have another 8 beetroot left to play with!
best wishes
