Natural Red Velvet Using Beetroot

Salam 3layk

Dah lama nak cuba ber-eksperimen dgn beet root ni,since sebelum final exam semester 7.Hehe!All these are encourage by my sister who love to use natural color/flavor and so called organic foods for her baby and our family.Btw, dekat Mesir menimbun dan murah sangat-sangat beet root ni, sekilo dalam RM 1.00 ++,kalau kat Msia agak mahal la jugak beet root ni kan.

Actually, i've been introduced with this antioxidants-rich beet by my mom.She was diagnosed with carcinoma in situ of breast cancer,and alhamdulillah she had done for mastectomy to remove the whole breast and lump in 2010 and she's survive.Alhamdulillah mak dapat kesan awal.

eh ke laut sudah.hehe.Ok jom tengok resipi.The best part is,beet root make the cake more moist and smell good even i didn't put any vanilla essence in the batter!yeayyyy!!!tak berhenti la mengunyah dapat pulak frosting dengan cheese kan,hehehe :p

it just turned to red-brownish cz i am just use 4 small crushed beetroots.pity me.sobss
