Flourless Chocolate Beetroot Tart
Sometimes it is not easy to find a good cake that is fluffy and also gluten free. This flourless chocolate beetroot tart has been shared with us by Sophia Handschuh from Thermomix Baking Blogger. It is like heaven on a dessert plate. You can serve it slightly warm just after you’ve baked it or cold with some fresh Greek yoghurt. It is the perfect dessert for anyone who loves making something sweet but cannot eat gluten or refined sugar.
