Колач со цвекло и семки / Beetroot and seed cake

I've tried this cake in my local church at a cake sale that is happening once in the month.  I am happy to be there to support my local church whenever I can.  The look of this cake made me order a slice despite the very good selection (my daughter went for the classic Victoria sponge) which I am sure was just as nice by the look of her face.  I finished my slice of cake and turned around to look for the ladies that bake all the cakes.  One of them was there but very busy, so I just quickly went closer to her and asked did she baked that particular cake because I want the recipe.  She answered quickly - Nigel Slater, beetroot and seed cake -  and carried on with her job.  I love Nigel as a cook, I have baked the cake the very next day and many times after that, I am still enjoying it like the very first time!
