Beetroot cake is cake that contains beetroots mixed into the batter. Beetroot juice is sometimes used for colouring in red velvet cake.[2] A variation is chocolate and beetroot cake, which combines the moisture of beetroot with the flavour of chocolate.[3]
Commercially, the cake can also be manufactured with the use of beetroot powder, with the aim of producing cakes with a higher nutrient content.[4] The addition of beetroot to other cake types also improves the oxidative stability and shelf life.[5][6]
