    Ingredients

    • Whole Wheat Flour -1 cup
    • Cocoa Powder - 1/4 cup
    • Beetroot Puree - 1/2 cup or Beetroot -1 small
    • Yogurt- 1 cup
    • Brown Sugar/Cane Sugar - 1/2 cup
    • Baking Soda - 1 Tsp
    • Baking Powder - 1/4 tsp
    • Salt -1/8 Tsp
    • Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp
    • Olive oil/sunflower oil/odorless oil- 1/4 cup

    Instructions

    • Take one small beetroot, wash and chop them into cubes. Pressure cook it with little water for two whistles in medium flame.
    • Add the cooked beetroot along with water to a blender. Grind it to a smooth paste.
    • Sieve the whole wheat flour, cocoa flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Keep it ready. Also, preheat the oven to 180 deg C for 10 minutes.
    • Take a mixing bowl, add thick curd/yogurt. Then add in brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar is melted.
    • Now add in vanilla essence followed by oil. Stir it well with a hand whisk until the oil is mixed evenly.
    • Then add in beetroot puree and give a quick mix.
    • Once all the wet ingredients are mixed well, add the sieved whole wheat flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Gently fold everything well for 10-15 seconds. Don't over mix. The final batter should be slightly thick and at pouring consistency. Adjust with milk/water to get the desired consistency if required.
    • Grease a cake pan with oil. Pour the mixture into the cake tin and gently tape it. Bake in the preheated oven at 180 deg C for 35 -40 minutes (baking time depends on the size of the cake pan and oven) at 180° Celsius till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool it down completely and cut into pieces!

     Notes :

            Hi, Cake doesn't raise for the following reasons
            1. If the baking powder/baking soda is not enough. Try increasing the amount by 1/4 tsp extra next time.
            2. Overmixing
            3. baking pan size is big. Try to use correct pan size next time
            4. also check the oven temperature

      Hi..bit doubt about the baking powder n baking soda measurement.
      I tried but my cake has Sank.
      I guess the baking powder should be 1tsp n soda 1/4 tsp.
      Can you confirm about this.

        the above measurement worked for me; there are many reasons for sunken cake including
        > Over beating the batter
        > The temperature of the oven is too high
        > Opening the door in the early stages of baking.
        > Placing the baked cakes to cool in a drafty place

        Please check those as well
