Woke up with a breakfast craving for muffins so whipped up a batch of Delia's finest banana and cinnamon, accompanied by fresh berries, a large pot of tea and the Sunday paper - perfect!
A big fan of red velvet cupcakes, but slightly put off by the alarming quantities of food colouring required, I decided to go down the more natural route of beetroot puree as dye. Granted, there was as much beetroot over the kitchen as in the cake but the results over all - pretty good! Slightly more earthy flavour and a much more dense and moist texture (not dissimilar to carrot). Topped with the two tone chocolate and vanilla cream cheese icing, they were happily wolfed with a cuppa at Aida's.
