Ingredients

• 250 grams beetroot
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 150 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the beetroot and grate it finely using a grater or a food processor.

Step 3

Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Stir in the melted chocolate and butter mixture until well combined.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 7

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Gently fold in the grated beetroot until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the beetroot slice to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Once cooled, slice into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
