Beetroot Sponge Cake

Beetroots (aka Beets) contain an antioxidant called Betalains that gives it that rich red/pink/purple color.

Betalains are not heat-stable and the goodness can be lost easily with heat...

an ideal method of cooking beets to retain slightly more betalains would be:

steaming <15minutes.
