Supper Club…It was my turn on dessert and I decided to try out a
RICH CHOCOLATE AND BEETROOT TORTE courtesy of Susan Jane White aka The Virtuous Tart
Ingredients
2 cups pitted dates
125g good cocoa powder
1 cup pureed beetroot (about 4 baby beets from vacuum pack without vinegar)
3 tbsp tamari soy sauce
4 medium eggs
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
Coconut yogurt and crushed pistachio nuts to serve
Method
Preheat oven to 170 C /335 F, Gas 3½
Boil the pitted dates in a small saucepan with about 1 inch water for 10 to 15 minutes. Puree in a blender. You only need one cup for the recipe; the remainder can be used to sweeten natural yogurt.
Mix the cocoa powder, the pureed beetroot and the tamari soy sauce with the date paste until smooth. Blend in the eggs, the olive oil, the vanilla extract and the baking powder until everything is well mixed.
Immediately pour the batter into a well-greased circular cake tin/springform type. Speed is of the essence as the baking powder has been activated. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. The cake is closer to a ganache torte and should be moist and rich. Allow to cool before removing from the tin. To serve, sprinkle the coconut yogurt and scatter the pistachio nuts over the torte.
I can unreservedly recommend this torte. It was relatively easy to make and tasted absolutely delicious and it is so good for you. If beetroot isn’t a superfood, it should be! Also I had great fun getting my supper club to guess the ingredients. This recipe is from her first book “The Extra Virgin Kitchen” and her latest offering “The Virtuous Tart” recently won the best cookbook in Ireland at the book awards. I know what’s on my Christmas wish list.

Thanks a lot for sharing!
Way to go on this essay, helped a ton.
Well I guess I don’t have to spend the weekend figuring this one out!
bring up a lot of good points, but I have a question (rather unrelated to the debate).How do you define/What do your consider as ‘Modern’? Cause, I believe what you really mean is post-modern. I say this because for a long time now, I have viewed the general progress of Western Man since the inception of the Industrial Revolution as “Modern’. Nowadays, I associate the decline of Western Man, as a direct result from Jewish influence, as post-modern. Essentially, the more control and influence the Jews and their collaborators exert over White society, the less modern it becomes.

C’est certain que le vécu diminue pas en passant la vingtaine. Mais je crois que c’est différent d’une personne à l’autre. Quelques uns sont de plus en plus débordés par leur problèmes en viellissant et d’autre les gèrent de mieux en mieux. Quelqu’un qui gère bien tout les petits problèmes ne sera surement pas lourd pour son partenaire même en étant enseveli de problèmes.
I agree with Catsmum – some yarns just need the simplest of patterns. The yarn is gorgeous and the hat looks lovely on you. I was in Katoomba last Saturday and that would have been very welcome! I’m told it was 8*C!
