This** beetroot and chocolate cake** is perfect for anyone who still has leftover chocolate from Easter—or just too much of it! Plus, we can take this opportunity to eat some beets—which, between you and me, I personally don’t really like on their own, let alone the kids! I got the idea for this cake while making the savory beet pie (click for the recipe!), which was created specifically to introduce even the youngest children to this vegetable, thanks to our collaboration with our friends in Rome: MANI - Culture for Children. If you don’t know yet, we’re three really fun guys who liven up the days and evenings of kids in Rome and the surrounding area with super fun events and parties! By the way: this week (Wednesday, to be exact) will feature the penultimate post before summer break—and this time’s color is GREEN!

Finally, the PURPLE recipe has been revealed: the savory beet cake! If you, too, aren’t too fond of the strong flavor of beets, then I recommend you try this recipe; as always, my recipes are very quick to prepare. Here’s a reminder of the link to the MANI – Culture for Children event taking place in Rome on Wednesday, May 17! By the way, the base for this savory pie can also be used with other fillings!
