Strange Flavor Combination that Work: Beets and Chocolate



This is part of a 10 part series on Strange Flavor Combinations That Should Not Work But Do.

Chocolate and Beetroot Cake

Beets may be unsightly – and stain your hands pink – but they’re extremely healthy for you. Loaded with vitamins A, B and C, they’re also high in fiber, manganese, folate and are a rare source of phytonutrients called betalains, which have been shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification qualities. All of that goodness inside these cupcakes? Who would’ve thought? This is a fantastic baking recipe to do with kids and let’s face it, what kid doesn’t love chocolate cake?

Ingredients: Olive Oil, Plain Flour, Dark chocolate, Raw Beetroot, Egg, Caster Sugar, Almonds, Baking Powder, Cocoa Powder, Yoghurt.

Velvety Beet and Cocoa Cake

It was too chocolatey - not a bit of red to be seen, and the beets were obviously well-camouflaged. This was disappointing, but the cake itself was wonderful. It has a stunningly light, moist texture and as far as straight chocolate cakes go, it may beat out our favorite dark chocolate cake recipe.


Ingredients: Butter, White Sugar, Eggs, Vanilla, All-Purpose Flour, Dark Cocoa Powder, Baking Soda, Salt, Milk, Pureed Canned Beets, Reserved Beet Juice.

Ingredients: Sugar, Oil, Beet, Egg, Melted Chocolate, Flour, Soda, Salt, Vanilla.
