BEET AND CARROT CAKE
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
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
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.

BEET CARROT CAKE
This is a spin off of a few recipes on here, made healthier and more beety. I use my yogurt frosting to frost, but cream cheese would be great too. Make an all beet cake by leaving out the carrot and adding 1 more cup beets.

BEET CARROT CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour and baking soda in a bowl. In a larger bowl, beat date sugar, blended pineapple, mashed banana, and applesauce together. Stir in the vanilla and mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture along with the chopped walnuts and mix. Now add the shredded carrots and beets. Mix well. Spread in a 9" square nonstick baking pan. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Butternut Lemon Sauce-Place squash, date sugar and carrot juice in a pan and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until squash is tender. Puree squash with carrot juice, lemon juice, lemon zest and lemon extract. Keep warm and drench warm cake with it. Macadamia Cream-In Vita-Mix or food processor blend together nuts, soy milk and dates until smooth and creamy. Place dollop over each piece of sauce drenched cake.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily grate the beets and carrots. This will save time and effort.
- Be sure to drain the grated vegetables well before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent the cake from being too moist.
- For a more intense beet flavor, use roasted beets instead of raw beets. To roast the beets, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the beets with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the beets are tender. Let cool before grating.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Be sure to grease and flour the cake pan before adding the batter. This will help prevent the cake from sticking.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This beet carrot cake is a delicious and unique twist on the classic carrot cake. The beets add a beautiful color and a slightly earthy flavor to the cake. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the sweet and moist cake. This cake is perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to potlucks. It's also a great way to use up leftover beets.
