A Thunder Cake?? <BR/><BR/>Alanna – no, I did tell them after the first slice. And then they happily helped themselves to the second piece, so it wasn’t shocking apparently J <BR/><BR/>K&S – isn’t it?<BR/><BR/>Shaun – I think my mum’s quite happy to try new things, but my dad is more of the ‘meat & gravy & potatoes’ type. Beetroot & chocolate cake is next on my list..<BR/><BR/>Tanna – beet & ginger indeed! <BR/><BR/>Sophie – I’m keen to try the dark chocolate & beetroot cake.. <BR/><BR/>Tanita – yes, beet & ginger go well together, be it roasted and served with melted cheese, or incorporated into a cake!<BR/><BR/>Jeanne – I know you don’t like beetroot, but maybe a tiny slice?? <BR/><BR/>SwirlingNotions – yes you do J <BR/><BR/>Tartelette – let me know how the experiment goes! Pickled vinegary beets should be forbidden – they’ve made so many people averse to beetroot!<BR/><BR/>Hedgehog - so glad to hear that you liked <A HREF="http://lifesaquilt.blogspot.com/2007/10/red-white-houses.html" REL="nofollow">the cake</A>!<BR/><BR/>Dzen – you’re welcome!

Beets have such a lovely natural sweetness when roasted anyway -- I think I'll take the ones I had saved to roast with herbs and serve with goat cheese and ... Oh, fine. I'll just roast them this time. But I'm going to try this! Anything you can put ginger and beets into is a definite winner!tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-81995784892902791442007-10-09T11:08:00.000+03:002007-10-09T11:08:00.000+03:00What an unusual combination Pille!

Your parents probably didn't bat an eyelid because they hae no doubt come to expect that you'll surprise them. I am incredbily fond and have loved it in a chocolate cake I once tried.
