Beetroot chocolate cake from Delicious Magazine (Aus), October 2016 (#164) (page 63) by Jamie Oliver

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Much better on Day 2: flavours have mellowed; polenta has softened ;-). Still very expensive though!

    Flavour wise ... all I can say is "weird". Heat from the ginger. Grainy from the polenta. Beetroot must only be for colour. If it wasn't for the double frosting I don't think it'd be any good. I'd do the double frosting on a different base though.

    I think this is really meant as a true dessert cake, not a coffee & slice cake. I halved the frosting & drizzle ingredients.. could easily have quartered the drizzle, if its meant to actually be a drizzle!. Using half the listed quantity, the frosting ending up being just over 1/2 inch thick; the drizzle totally swamped the frosting.. ie: became a second icing layer. That's probably why it has the additional chocolate caraque. An expensive cake, coming in at just over $47 (AUd) (without cost of labour/electricity. Serves more than 8.. I'd say 12 easily. Taste test yet to come.
