Chocolate Beetroot Cake
What better than to use this ruby red vegetable to spoil your valentine?

Vegan and gluten free, it doesn’t take long to make and keeps really well… so you could make it tomorrow and it will stay tasty until you ice and serve it on Tuesday – maybe with a wee glass of prosecco?! Our recipe made enough for 5 small heart cakes and a 9″ shallow cake – Lots of love x…

Delicious served as a breakfast with yoghurt or ice cream for a more unusual dessert. …
