I had strong chocolate cravings but i struggled to find a shop open that was selling vegan chocolate. Luckily i caught Iydea (Vegetarian kitchen, vegan food labelled...Kensington Gardens, Brighton) just before it closed. No chocolate but a few vegan cake options (when life's tough you make do!) I decided to go for the beetrooty cake, bit of an odd choice as i'm usually only a fan of beetroot when it's pickled in jars (i'm a classy lass me!) but i fancied trying something new. There was some heat to it which i was a bit unsure about but i liked the walnuts in it which gave the cake a varied texture. Very moist which i enjoyed, it reminded me of fruit cake with an added interesting flavour. Unsure i'd have it again but i'll definitely revisit the fantastic Iydea!
I did think about doing red velvet cupcakes for the London Vegan Festival with the magic ingredient - beetroot! Maybe I will do them for Animal Aid in December.

ooh red velvet cupcakes sound good! i'm hoping to make the Animal Aid fair, if so i'll definitely have to tuck into a cake from your stall x
