its pretty quick to put together if you alread have the pulp. i use the coconut milk recipe on this site and use the milk in my hair as a leave in conditioning treatment. and feel free to play around with spice quantities, i just adore cardamom so use lots!
Beets and chocolate are both such deep grounding foods... makes sense that they'd find themselves in the same cake....
you can use dessicated coconut that you buy at the store... not as fresh, but still the same texture and taste
mm beets and cardamom. You would think I'd have thought of that already. I will probably never have the coconut. Can't hardly find them here, and moldy when you do:(, but I might make this anyway. :) Thank you very much.
Beet magic believers, you have to read Tom Robbins' "Jitterbug Perfume" it's my favorite book!
This cake sounds excellent, I'm making it this weekend!
I once made a beet and chocolate cake and they really do compliment each other. Thanks for sharing.
