100g (31/2oz) plain flour

Cook’s Tip:
Look out for ready-cooked beetroot in the fresh fruit and vegetable aisles of the supermarket – make sure you choose beetroot in natural juices not dipped in vinegar.

Hi Claire, these cakes sound interesting and I'm sure that much beetroot must go towards a veggie portion? I'd certainly give them a go if I can find all the ingredients.#weekendbloghop x
