Beetroot & Chocolate Cake

Moist, rich, and naturally vibrant – this family favourite cake recipe dates back to post-war Britain, when beetroot was used to deepen the chocolate colour. Eli’s version is more indulgent—with chocolate chips and Mellow Yellow cold-pressed rapeseed oil for a soft, velvety texture.

Her daughters still request it every time they visit!
