I managed to bake this cake again tonight and just realised I had forgotten to share the recipe here. The previous posts were earlier this year when we celebrated hubby's birthday part I, part II and part III .
Recipe as follow (derived from Kevin Chai's 'I Love Butter Cake' baking recipes book, also my very first baking book and its a great one) :
Ingredients :
200g butter
150g margarine
250g caster sugar (I used 100g only)
1/4tsp salt (I used only a pinch)
5 eggs
200g grated beetroot
220g plain flour
100g grounded hazelnut (I used almond powder)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda (Optional, I didnt add but it doesnt taste any different and the cake still rise nicely)
Method :
- Preheat oven to 180 degree C.
- Beat butter, margarine, sugar and salt until light and fluffy.
- Add in eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
- Add in grated beetroot, mix well. fold in shifted flour, ground hazelnut, baking powder and soda. Mix until well blended. Pour into baking trays.
- Bake in oven for approx. 50 mins.
Enjoy!
