- 1 tbsp rice flour (or any flour)

- Pre heat the oven to 160 oc.
- Wash the beetroot well but don’t worry about cutting any of the bits off.
- Quarter and place in a steamer and steam for about 20 mins. Allow to cool before peeling. Simply run a kitchen towel over them.
- Place the chocolate in a bowl above some simmering water and melt.
- Grind the cashews into a fine powder in a food processor, they turn into flour.
- Beat the eggs with an electric beater for 5 mins, adding the pinch of salt.
- Add the melted chocolate, followed by the maple syrup, followed by the vanilla extract, beating all the time.
- Grate the beetroot or mash with a fork and beat into mixture.
- Mix together the rice flour, cashew nuts and cocoa powder and fold into the egg mixture.
- Place in the tin and cook for about 25 mins. Delicious!
