2 Ounces Semi-Sweet Choc
1 Cup Whole wheat or Spelt Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
1/2 Cup Pure Cane Sugar ( The original recipe calls for 1 cup, I used a quarter but thought they could be a bit more sweet)
1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla extract
2 Eggs
Place beets covered in water and bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 35 mins.
When cool enough grate with large hole grater ( I blended mine!) You will need 1 Cup of beets.
Preheat oven to 350f and line your cake tin with 12 cupcake liners

Beat sugar and butter until fluffy, then add eggs and vanilla and mix. Add beets then beat until light magenta in colour.
Add chocolate to mix and gradually add the flour mix and stir until evenly mixed.
Spoon batter into liners about 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 mins.
Sprinkle with Icing sugar for decoration!!
