Steps to make Chocolate and beetroot cake:

- Grease or line your cake pan with parchment paper (Mine is a ring pan 8.6 x 4 inch-deep)

- Place all the ingredients, except the flour, in a food processor and blend into a smooth consistency
- Add the flour in two steps, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as necessary. Blend only for a few seconds until the flour is just combined with the rest of the ingredients, do not overmix.
- Scrape the batter into the pan, level the top and bake in the middle shelf of the oven for about 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes check the cake by inserting a thin skewer/cake tester into the centre of the cake. If the cake is fully cooked then the skewer will come out clean, if there is still batter clinging to the skewer then return the cake to the oven for a further 3 minutes and test again.
- When the cake is ready, remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In the meanwhile melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or into a heatproof bowl placed over a pan of barely simmering water (a bain marie). Allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally. Once melted leave it to set until a bit firm, but still runny.
