This time of year, there are still lots of late season varieties of apples to be had and it meant that Toffee apples were a bonfire night ritual of old in my family. I still can never resist the temptation of them.
So, for me this traybake was a perfect celebration of November. Warming, sweet, sticky sponge with ribbons of caramel and slithers of apple. Just as outstanding with a cup of tea as it is warm with crème fraiche.
This deliciously rich chocolate cake is kept moist by the beetroot in the mix. Deep in flavour this almost brownie like treat, is a sure-fire crowd pleaser.
