Until recently beets I only used it for making salads, and of course borscht. But then I came across a recipe that expanded my culinary horizons!
The nut, spice and beetroot cake is as delicious as it is beautiful. A slightly moist texture and an unusually bright crumb color make these pastries similar to the legendary “Red Velvet”, while the combination of nuts and spices leaves an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
