Beet pie
Description
Since the main ingredient of the cake is beet purée, which is quite dense, be prepared that no matter how much baking powder you add, the cake won't rise much. Thanks to the baking powder, it will only become slightly porous. Therefore, this dish is something in between a beet cake and a sweet beet casserole. Well, here you go—your baked dish is ready. Serve it at the table.

Sprinkle the bottom of the baking pan with breadcrumbs and place the beet batter on it. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes (temperature 180 degrees). Check the cake for doneness with a toothpick: simply pierce the cake. If the toothpick comes out dry, the cake is ready.
