Ingredients Serving: 8

  1. Dry ingredients:
  2. 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour/atta
  3. ¾ cup Sugar
  4. 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  5. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  6. ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  7. Pinch of salt
  8. Wet ingredients:
  9. 1 cup milk
  10. 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  11. ½ cup beetroot puree
  12. 5 tablespoons oil
  13. 1 teaspoon Vanilla essence/extract
  14. Icing sugar for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

  1. First prepare beetroot puree; I have pressure cooked half a large beetroot well, peeled and pureed in a blender jar to a fine puree.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Centigrade. Prepare a 9-inch round baking pan; grease and flour or line with aluminum foil and grease and flour. Keep aside.
  3. Preparing the dry mixture: In a large bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt well with a fork, spoon or whisk. Keep aside
  4. Preparing the wet ingredients: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of vinegar with a spoon and keep aside for 3 to 5 minutes. It will curdle to form a buttermilk-like mixture called sour milk.
  5. To the sour milk, add beetroot puree, oil and vanilla essence. Mix well with a whisk or spoon. Now, pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix with a spoon or spatula till well mixed. Do not over mix; this assures a light and fluffy cake.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove and let cool in pan for about 5 minutes.
  7. After 5 minutes, remove from pan and place on cooling rack to cool completely. Serve moist, fluffy, healthy beetroot chocolate cake as such, sprinkled with icing sugar, with a chocolate ganache or as a scrumptious dessert with ice cream!
