I eyed it up in Dan's book, BUT it hasn't got any chocolate in it. to be honoust (don't tell anyone) I'm getting a bit fed up with chocolate!<br /><br />As for Dom's challenge, normally, I only use my chocolate books, but this time I thought I'd do it properly and just choose the first chocolate recipe I found after picking a random book and page - if that makes any sense.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-67552651022358424472012-03-21T21:34:04.471+00:002012-03-21T21:34:04.471+00:00Anne - I have only baked one beetroot cake which s...Anne - I have only baked one beetroot cake which stayed pink - a Nigella Lawson recipe - it was so pretty!<br /><br />I'm buying more dried berry mixes as exotic fruit seems to have become so expensive! Adding sultanas and/or raisins keeps the cost down.<br /><br />I'm still not confident about exchanging butter for oil - I prefer to look for recipes using the right fat in the first place - but it might make the cake more moist.Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-75255024071526699922012-03-21T19:23:13.421+00:002012-03-21T19:23:13.421+00:00I agree on it not staying pink when baked, my beet...I agree on it not staying pink when baked, my beetroot cookies were far more browner in colour! <br /><br />Anyway I do really like the sound of your cake with the addition of berries and cherries mix in - I've seen it in the shops but hadn't tried it yet, will definitely give it a try out. I wonder if adding oil, instead of butter would result in a more moist result?<br /><br />That frosting looks heavenly - I'm a sucker for cream cheese frosting! Will be definitely trying this version soon!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027234256771956725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-14652362014353170602012-03-20T07:24:17.832+00:002012-03-20T07:24:17.832+00:00What an interesting looking cake.
