I inherited this wonderful recipe from my grandmother which used almost everything that grew in her garden to make cakes. Moist and colorful, this cake could be prepared during the Christmas holiday's season. My children used to beg for me to make it when they saw beets on the table!!

BEET AND CARROT CAKE



Beet and Carrot Cake image

Carrots and beets are pretty, delicious, and versatile when grated and used together. If you plan to grate vegetables, you may as well grate plenty. This vintage recipe for beet-carrot cake has been in my family for decades and was given to me by my late aunt. At harvest time, I used to make 8 or 9 of these cakes and freeze them...

BEET AND CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES



Beet and Carrot Cake Cupcakes image

This is a modification of Recipe #114622. I reduced the fat and sugar and added some pineapple and raisins. I made it for a Mexico missions trip, and it was a hit with the high schoolers and adults alike. It can also be made in cake form, as in the original recipe. To make it even healthier, substitute 1/2 cup of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour.
