Heat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) 350°F gas 4. Place paper cases in 9 muffin tins.
2.
Put the beetroot into a food processor or blender and blend to a puree. Set aside.

Beat the sugar and butter in a mixing bowl until light and creamy. Add the egg yolks, flour, pureed beetroot and vanilla and beat until smooth.

In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Beat a large spoonful of egg white into the beetroot mixture until blended, then gradually fold in the remaining egg whites until incorporated. Stir in the poppy seeds.
