Yes, I know the name of the recipe might sound weird – why would you use beet in a cake? Well, why not? It’s pink and beautiful, plus kids really enjoy it and they don’t even know they’re eating a vegetable cake! This cake is completely vegan so there are no eggs or dairy, that can really help if you need to make a cake for someone who is allergic to one of the above.
3 green apples, cored, peeled and cut into small cubes
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup water
2 cups flour
1 Gefen Organic Beet, finely grated
3/4 cup demerara sugar
3/4 cup applesauce (recipe below)
3/4 cup any vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Haddar Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Baking Soda
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons water
(optional) you can soak a few pieces of the shredded beet in water to make the frosting a bit pink.
Place apple cubes, lemon juice and water in a pot, cook on high, and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat, simmer for 20 minutes until the apples are very soft, and fall apart.
Let it cool. With a fork or food processor, blend to a mush mixture.
Save in a bowl with the top wrapped with plastic until you’re ready to use.
Heat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit) fan.
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients to a unified batter.
Grease two English cake molds. (or cake loaf pans)
Pour the batter into the molds.
Bake for 45 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk the water and powdered sugar to a smooth mixture.
Pour the glaze on the cakes.
Have a piece of cake with a cup of tea and enjoy!
