I will give it a go when the beetroot season at the end of the summer.  

Sometimes things that sound yuk turn out to be divine.

I don't have any beetroot! I guess I could buy some. I'd probably be biased though because I grew up on rich moist chocolate cake with peanut butter icing ;)
wistfully hoping to one day be mostly organic gardener in North London.

Tried this today. It's difficult to mash beetroot  :?  So I only did a half recipe of the cake.
It tastes good except I think it could be more chocolatey (add more cocoa powder) and less oily.
I iced one half of the cake with normal icing with a touch of almond extract added to it. That's hubby's side so I'll have to wait for his opinion on that variation  :wink:
