At first glance, there is nothing to do with beets in a pie, especially a chocolate one. But the vegetable ceases to look like a "foreign body" if you remember its sweetish taste and the fact that sugar is made from beets. It remains only to be convinced in practice that such different main accents - chocolate and beets - can ultimately create an excellent duet.

In order for the root vegetable to become an ingredient in the pie, it is boiled, chopped in a blender, combined with vegetable oil and only then put into the dough. It turns out to be amazing: soft, slightly crumbling, but at the same time well baked. The vegetable does not overpower the chocolate aroma of the baked goods, but gives it a very distinctive color. The taste is also unusual, forcing you to savor each slice. Hot or warm chocolate cake with beetroot is especially good - then chocolate is felt in it "brighter". But as it cools, beets begin to make themselves felt more and more, which may not please everyone.

Cooking time: 1.5 with boiling beets / Yield: 1 pie (8-10 servings)

Ingredients

• beets 200 grams
• cocoa 2 tbsp. heaped spoons
• wheat flour 1.5 cups
• baking powder for dough 1 pack
• chicken egg 3 pieces
• sugar 1 cup
• sunflower oil two-thirds of a glass
• semolina 1 tbsp. a spoon
• raisins - a handful
• walnut - a handful.

Preparation

Wash the beets, cover with cold water and send them to the stove to boil. The vegetable will be ready in 40-50 minutes. Transfer it to ice water so that the peel will later be peeled off with a slight movement of your hand.

There is another way to cook beets. Wash the root vegetables, peel and chop into large pieces. Place them in a microwave safe dish, fill with half a glass of water, and put them in the microwave. Please note: the dishes must be with a lid. At maximum power, the beets will be ready in 10 minutes.

Purée the boiled beets with a blender. Then pour in almost a glass of sunflower oil (refined) and mix well with a whisk. Sunflower oil can be replaced with any other vegetable oil.



In a separate bowl, combine one and a half cups flour, two heaped tablespoons of cocoa powder, a bag of baking powder, and a tablespoon of semolina.



Stir the dry ingredients well to make it easier to knead the dough. The flour must first be sifted through a sieve.

Sort a handful of walnuts thoroughly, removing pieces of partitions and shell fragments. Chop the nuts. Wash the raisins, dry them and chop them too, if they are large.



Mix three chicken eggs and a glass of sugar and beat well with a mixer.



In a large bowl, combine four groups of ingredients: puréed beets, flour, raisins and walnuts, and beaten eggs.

Knead the dough. Its consistency is ordinary, the smell is almost purely chocolate, but the color is surprising - strong beets interrupt even dark chocolate dough.



Grease a baking dish with sunflower oil and transfer the finished dough into it. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and send the chocolate beetroot pie to bake. After 50 minutes, you can check it for readiness with a wooden toothpick.

Decorate the top of the pie with boiled condensed milk or jam, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
