This pretty pink Beet Chai Latte Cake is nourishing and delicious. As you know, my obsession with beets is a long conversation one. What I love most about beets is that it is so incredibly easy to take this sweet, simple earthy root vegetable and elevate into something insanely delicious. Can be enjoyed in both sweet and savory recipes. But beets aren’t just another pretty face – loaded with essential nutrients, beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C.
I admit that the primary reason of this recipe is linked to its stunning pink color. The rich and earthy flavor of beetroot pairs wonderfully with the fragrant chai spices. The orange and a little rosewater are a fabulous addition to the flavor of this dessert. It sounds too good to be true, but this cake recipe is the real deal! Whether you’re already obsessed or you’re trying to love them, one thing is for certain ➵ beets are rocks!
This delicious cake is made with fresh coconut. Oh, the wonderful coconut. My personal favorite. Raw coconut meat naturally contains many viable living enzymes, which are helpful for digestion and metabolism. It is high in lauric acid, which is used by the body to make disease-fighting fatty acids. Organic raw coconut meat is also high in essential fat burning energy giving medium chain fatty acids as well as concentrated trace minerals: Manganese, Potassium, and Copper. Coconut meat is healthful for our immune system, nervous system, blood sugar-fat-protein metabolism, and healthy heart functions.
I hope you’ll love this pretty Beet Cake ♡ As usual ➵ raw, vegan, dairy free, gluten free, refined sugar free and very yummy.
