Spelt flour, Beets and chocolate! What can go wrong? So moist, soft and sweet. Easy to make and easier to eat.
Ingredients
  • 1 Medium Beet – Cooked and peeled
  • 1 Tbsp Yogurt
  • 4 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 ½ Cups Spelt Flour
  • ½ Cup White Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
  • ⅓ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¼ Cup Milk
For the Chocolate Ganache (Yields 1 Cup Ganache)
  • 130gr Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ½ Cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F (180C)
  2. Prepare loaf pan covered with parchment paper
  3. Place the beet, the yogurt and the oil in a food processor and grind until you get a nice smooth paste.
  4. Place the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl, add the beet mix in and mix well until fully combined.
  5. Pour the mix into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until you test with a toothpick and it comes out clean (with no wet mix on it).
For the Ganache:
  1. Starts preparing the ganache halfway through the baking process
  2. Place the chocolate chips and the heavy cream in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low temperature while stirring consistently
  3. Remove from heat and set aside when you get a smooth cream like chocolate mix
  4. Pour the ganache on the cake when it’s ready
  5. The longer you let the ganache cool the less liquid it will be (which can allow you to spread it on the cake as oppose to pouring it on it)
