Grease a 9 inch cake tin and pour in the cake mixture. Place the baking tin in the oven and bake for 45 minutes. Check if it is ready with a skewer, if the skewer comes out clean it is ready.

I just made the beetroot and chocolate cake. It looks yummy to eat. I did find that I needed to add an extra 10 minutes to the time stated, so it took 50 mins to cook, and looks well risen. I didn’t use a mixer, but used a large mixing bowl and a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients together.
Really really yummy, v easy to make
my 9yr old daughter made this, its easy to follow n tasted great…
Fabulous cake, so rich and gooey
