Heat the oven to 210 degrees Celsius. Peel your beetroot and bake for 20 min until soft (gives it a sweeter taste, but not necessary if you are in a hurry, just use it raw).  In the meantime, prepare all other ingredients. Sift flour, coffee granules, baking powder, salt, baking soda, vanilla and cacao powder mix together.

Next melt dark chocolate and leave it to cool.

In a food processor mix eggs, coconut oil, honey, beetroot and mix until smooth, add cooled melted chocolate and mix again. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and slowly mix until smooth. Pour into a prepared baking dish. Reduce the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius and bake for 30 minutes or check with a toothpick; when it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Allow it to completely cool before removing it from the baking tray.

For the tahini chocolate ganache mix all the ingredients together. Serve it on top of the Chocolate Bundt Cake.

*VEG: for a vegan version use 3 Tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 6 Tbsp water.

**Instead of beetroot you can use pumpkin or apple puree.

***If you don’t have tahini you can use almond or peanut butter.
