      Chocolate Beetroot Cake

      I think it would be accurate to say that I can be a twit at times. It appears that not even attending the University of Oxford prevents one suffering from the affliction of ‘donkey brain’.  The baking of this Chocolate Beetroot Bundt Cake witnessed one such pea-brain episode. The sad thing is, it’s not even a hard cake to make. Practically an all-in-one. The hardest thing is preparing the bundt tin. Knowing that you’re meant to stir the chocolate chips in before the cake goes into the oven is kind of expected. Remembering that after the cake has been in the oven for five minutes is not part of the recipe. Uttering a series of expletives, pulling the cake frantically back out of the oven (my pastry teachers would have a heart attack if they witnessed that) and pushing the chocolate chips into the top of the partially risen, hot, soft batter certainly isn’t. Fortunately, this episode of Shani-is-a-bimbo wasn’t terminal. I’m pleased to announce that the cake turned out a-okay. You can’t say this Chocolate Beetroot Bundt Cake hasn’t been adequately tested for fool-proof-ness – it was tested by the fool herself. Continue reading →

      Grilled cheese sandwiches. The ultimate comfort food/cold weather food/can’t be bothered making a ‘proper dinner’ food. Let’s be honest. It’s anytime food. Not just for kids – we ‘grown-ups’ can eat them too. It’s perfectly acceptable grub – even for dinner – especially when jazzed up with nutritious extras. In this particular specimen you’ve got cannellini beans for fibre and protein, avocado for healthy fats as well as a kazillion other wellness-boosting nutrients and beetroot to cover your veg bases. Wait a minute, avocado counts as a veg too! Let’s just forget about the slab of cheese wedged in the middle, and the fact that the bread is lathered in butter. Because, hey a little fat never hurt no-one (given that it’s not the major component of the meal). There’s simply no point trying to omit them – you wouldn’t have a grilled cheese sandwich anymore would you? Continue reading →
