Ingredients:

Serving

1 large beet, cooked and roughly chopped
1 pinch salt
8 oz all-purpose flour
4 oz cocoa powder
1 tbsp baking powder
10 oz superfine sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup sunflower oil
4 oz dark chocolate, chopped into pieces

Directions:

Heat the oven to 375°F.
Tip the beet into a blender and blitz until finely chopped. Add a pinch of salt and the rest of the ingredients, except the oil and the chocolate.
When completely mixed in the blender (you may need to scrape the sides down a couple of times) add the oil in a steady stream with the motor running, as if you were making mayonnaise.
When all the oil has been added, stir in the chocolate then tip the mix into a lined 2lb loaf tin.
Cook for 1 hour until an inserted skewer comes out practically clean. Leave the loaf to cool on a rack.
Serve in slices with creme fraiche or cream.
