Exotic Eggless Beetroot Cake




Beetroot cake is a moist delicious cake which melts in the mouth.The exotic red colour of the cake make it so tempting!
Actually it is the exotic red colour of beet which inspired me to experiment beet into my cake recipes.The results I got is a amazingly beautiful eye-catching super soft cake.
To be very honest I couldn't get the exact red colour which I wanted but in the process I got a cake recipe which is full of nutrition and fibres.
We all are well aware of numerous health benefits of beet but most of the time don't want to eat it raw or cooked due to its weird taste.
So this cake recipe is kind of a boon for all who want to take advantage of health benefits of beet.
Packed with essential nutrients Beetroots are a great source of Fibre,folate(Vitamin B9), manganese, potassium,iron and vitamin C.
Beets contain an antioxidant called alpha-lipoic acid which may help lower glucose levels and increase insulin sensitivity.
According to United States Department of Agriculture,a single cup of beets can provide more than 8.81%of persons daily requirement of fibre.
Some studies have found that Beetroot juice supplementation can improve the amount of oxygen that muscles absorb during exercise.
A 2019 reviews of studies found that certain compounds such as "betalanins" in beets can disrupt the cancerous mutations of cell.
Eggless Beetroot cake is as simple to make as exotic it looks.
The key ingredient is of course grated Beetroot.Some people use boiled beet but my view is why to double process it I mean once boil and then bake.It may lose many key vitamins like vitamin C.
