Put cooked beetroot, raspberries, vanilla and cocoa in a blender and process until a puree forms. Set aside. 

3.

Put eggs and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high, using whisk attachment, for 6 minutes or until thick and pale. 

4.

Sift in baking powder, pour in beetroot puree, melted chocolate and melted butter. Pour in almond meal then fold gently until just combined. 

5.

Pour batter into prepared tin and bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside in tin to cool completely. To serve, remove cake from tin, dust with extra cocoa and garnish with raspberries.
