At first glance, there is nothing to do with beets in a pie, especially chocolate. But the vegetable ceases to look like a "foreign body" if we recall its sweetish taste and the fact that sugar is made from beets. It remains only to make sure in practice that such different main accents - chocolate and beetroot - can eventually create an excellent duet.
In order for the root crop to become an ingredient in the pie, it is boiled, chopped in a blender, combined with vegetable oil, and only then put into the dough. It turns out amazing: soft, slightly falling apart, but at the same time well baked. The vegetable does not interrupt the chocolate aroma of baking, but gives it a very peculiar color. The taste is also unusual, forcing to savor each slice. Hot or warm beetroot chocolate pie is especially good - then chocolate is “brighter” in it. But as it cools, beets begin to make themselves felt more and more, which may not be to everyone's liking.

There is another way to cook beets. Wash the root crops, peel and chop into large pieces. Put them in a microwave-safe dish, pour half a glass of water and send them to the microwave. Please note: the dishes must be with a lid. At maximum power, the beets will be ready in 10 minutes.
Puree boiled beets with a blender. Then pour in almost a glass of sunflower oil (refined) and mix well with a whisk. Sunflower oil can be replaced with any other vegetable oil.
In a separate bowl, mix one and a half cups of flour, two tablespoons with a slide of cocoa powder, a bag of baking powder and a tablespoon of semolina.
Mix the dry ingredients well to make it easier to knead the dough. Flour must first be sifted through a sieve.
Carefully sort out a handful of walnuts, removing pieces of partitions and fragments of the shell. Chop the nuts. Wash the raisins, dry them and chop them too if they are large.
Mix three chicken eggs and a glass of sugar and beat well with a mixer.
In a large bowl, combine the four groups of ingredients: pureed beets, flour, raisins with walnuts and beaten eggs.
Knead the dough. Its consistency is ordinary, the smell is almost pure chocolate, but the color is surprising - strong beetroot interrupts even dark chocolate dough.
Lubricate the baking dish with sunflower oil and transfer the finished dough into it. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and send the chocolate cake with beets to bake. After 50 minutes, you can check it for readiness with a wooden toothpick.

At the end, add whipped squirrels in small portions and carefully combine everything with the help of improvised equipment. Everything, the dough is ready!
Grease the bottom and sides of the baking dish with a small piece of butter and sprinkle with flour. Using the same tablespoon, put the dough into a container. Immediately turn on the oven and preheat it to the temperature 180 °С. Then we put the form with the future pie on the middle level and bake for 1 hour. After the allotted time, turn off the oven, and take out the container with the help of kitchen tacks. Attention: the cake should be covered with a ruddy golden crust. Transfer it to an oven rack and leave to cool to room temperature.
At the end, we transfer the baking to a flat wide dish, wrap it with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for the night, and preferably for a day.
Step 8: Prepare the frosting.
Pour the icing sugar into the mixer bowl and pour the lemon juice. Beat the ingredients on a turbo mode until a thick mass is formed. Attention: this action needs to be done in 5–7 minutes before we take the cake out of the fridge and serve it to the dessert table.
