Chocolate cake with hidden vegetables

Food & Recipes door thijs

This is a very easy way to get all the vegetables you need ;) Personally, I love to throw in vegetables in a cake because you often don't taste any of it and it is super healthy! This cake contains vegetables, fruit and chocolate, what more does someone want?
