190 self raising flour
60 g. cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
250 grs sugar
250 grs. beetroot cooked
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing
250 icing sugar
reserved beetroot juice
25 g. white chocolate broken into pieces
25 g dark chocolate broken into pieces
method
Preheat the oven to 180 °c
Lightly oil a 20 cm diameter round cake tin and the base with baking parchment.
In a large bowl sift together the flour, cocoa and bicarbonate and stir in the sugar.
In a food procesor or a blender purée the beet, then scrape into sieve set over a bowl and put out the juices with the back of a spoon. Reseve the juices for the icing.
In a bowl place the beet root pulp and add the eggs and vanilla
then slowly add the oil, Mix well.
In other bowl place the dry ingredients and mix with beetroom mixture and with a large spoon gently fold together.

Icing

Pour the icing over the cake and let dry by 1 hour.
melt white chocolate to bain marie then spoon into a piping bag.
Repeat with the dark chocolate .
Drizzle and flick both colurs all over your cake , garnish how you like. Set aside again by 1 hour.

Cake de chocolate con betarraga
Cuando vi esta receta en Good Food Channel me sorprendió que fuera con betarragas pero despues pensé que podría ser bueno ya que la betarraga es más bien dulce y me encantó el color que daba al icing.
Quedo muy bueno porque la mezcla de chocolate y betarraga es muy buena.
Ingredientes
180 ml de aceite de maravilla o maiz
190 grs, de harina con polvos de hornear
60 grs. cocoa en polvo
1 cucharadita de bicarbonato de soda
250 grs. de azúcar
250 grs. de betarraga cocida
3 huevos
1 cucharadita extracto de vainilla
Icing
250 grs. de azúcar glass o azúcar flor
jugo de betarraga reservado
25 gtrs, de chocolate blanco para derretir
25 grs. de chocolate negro para derretir
Preparación
Aceitar o enmantequillar un molde redondo de 20 cm de diámetro.
En un bol grande mezclar la harina, cocoa en polvo, bicarbonato y azúcar.
En la licuadora o en un procesador moler la betarraga en una consistencia de puré, poner en un colador y apretar un poco con una cuchara para que bote el jugo . Reservar aparte el jugo servirá para el icing (la cubierta)
En otro bol mezclar la pulpa de betarraga,agregar los huevos de auno y la vainilla, finalmente el aceite.
Mezclar bien durante unos minutos.
En el bol que tiene los ingredientes secos agregar la mezcla de betarraga, unir suavemente con una cuchara de madera,
Cuando esté bien unido vaciar al molde la mezcla y llevar al horno por unos 40 a 45 minutos.
Con una brocheta insertar en el centro y cuando salga limpia está listo.
Dejar enfriar el cake antes de desmoldar.
Para la cubierta (icing)
Colocar el azúcar glass en un bol agregar unas gotas del jugo de betarraga (dependen del color que se quiera yo le puse más)
Agregar unas gotas de limón y mezclar bien. Debe tener una consistencia espesa para cubri el cake si se quiere menos espeso agregar unas gotas de agua. sino más azúcar.
Bañar o cubrir el cake con la crema de azúcar y betarraga.
Dejar secar por lo menos 1 hora.
Derretir el chocolate blanco a baño maria.
Derretir el chocolate negro aparte a baño maría tambien.
En una manga plástica colocar el chocolate blanco y hacer los dibujos de la cubierta.
En otra manga colocar el chocolate negro y hacer dibujos sobre el blanco o como se quiera.
Ambos chocolates se van secando y quedan bien e incluso se puede repetir unos d elos chocolates, el contraste queda bonito.
Dejar secar nuevamente por lo menos una hora antes de partir el cake.
Wow, that's an amazing color you achieve, Gloria! I'm so impressed how the beetroot transformed the cake...
ReplyDeleteYes is nice the color that the beet give to the cake Javelin:)
DeleteOh that is beautiful! Do you remember me making a chocolate and beet cake probably a year ago? It was very good! But yours is so much more pretty! Mind didn't have any frosting like that..I love it!

DeleteHola amiga, supongo que betarraga es remolacha? Yo hice esta torta pero la tuya está decorada muy bonita. Ah, la remolacha la dejé cruda y pelada, no necesitás cocinarla. Y le agregué más chocolate para disimular por los chicos.... más un chorro de licor. Tuvo mucho éxito. Besos,
