Instructions
- HEAT THE OVEN to 180 degrees Celsius. In a food processor or blender, mix together the chocolate, hot beetroot, butter and ginger until the mix is as smooth as you can get it. If you're using a low power blender, add the hot beetroot first and then chocolate, so that the chocolate melts a bit already before blending.
- COMBINE THE SUGAR AND EGGS in a large bowl and whisk (by hand or electric whisk) until the mix is thick and foamy.
- FOLD THE BEETROOT MIX into the whisked eggs. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, then gently fold to make a smooth batter. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in its tin, then cut into modest pieces.
Recipe Notes
Optional: make a chocolate glazing by melting 100g of chocolate with 50g of butter, then pouring over the cooled cake.
The fudge brownies taste even better a day after they have been baked, and keep in the fridge for several days. They taste good at room temperature as well as straight from the fridge.
