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
