I used moderated brown sugar to make a healthier cake for the kids too. I also did not use butter or vegetable oil but cooked it with olive oil.

Beetroot is one of the vegetables that should consume as much as possible in this period as it carries high nutritional values. It improves our blood pressure, blood circulation, and our heart’s walls.
