Eggless Beet cake

  Cakes will be everyones favorite. Everyones like will be different. I always bake eggless goodies only , this beet cake is also made without egg.

   When I were in school , I thought cakes can be made only by using eggs if not it is not a cake at all . 

    I love cake a lot , due to health conscious avoids these days. So I thought if I bake on my own , I can limit the use of sugar , there by the cake will be low in calorie.

   Used beetroot in this cake because I don’t want to add any artificial colour as well as it makes the cake healthy by reducing the use of sugar.

All purpose flour – 2 cup

Beet root – 250 g

Sugar – 1 ½ cup

Baking powder – 2 tbs

Baking soda – 1 tsp

Butter – 150 g

Method :

Remove  the beetroot  skin and cut into large pieces , cook for ten minutes.

Grind the cooked beetroot into a fine paste – Beetroot puree.

 If you want , add some of the chopped beetroot pieces.

Sift the flour , baking powder and baking soda twice or thrice.
