3. Add the dates, currants and maple syrup and pulse until evenly mixed through.
4. Add beetroot to the dry mixture and blend until it forms a dough-like texture.

Chocolate Icing Method:
1. Place avocados, bananas, tahini, cacao powder, curQone Turmeric Chai Powder & maple syrup in food processor. Process until extremely smooth. (You can’t over-process this one, so do keep going until it’s perfectly mousse-like!)
2. Spoon evenly over the cake and put it back into the refrigerator to set for 60 minutes.
