"DON'T KNOCK IT UNTIL YOU TRY IT" BEET CAKE!!
Yes, this cake is made with beets! And you won't believe how great it is. I got the recipe from a friend who said it is the most requested cake in her family. Even the kids want it for their birthday cake. I baked it for one of our family gatherings and now, I get lots of requests for it too. The batter looks red, but the red bakes out. I use an almond flavored frosting on it sometimes. Other times I just serve it with homemade whipped cream.

I found this recipe handwritten in my grandmother's well-worn cookbook. I've made it many times, and my four grandchildren love it (they think it's just a moist chocolate cake). It's especially appropriate for this contest because our state is known as the beet-growing capital.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, firm beets. Avoid beets that are bruised or have blemishes.
- To easily peel the beets, boil them for 10-15 minutes until they are tender. Then, rinse them under cold water and the skin will slip right off.
- If you don't have time to boil the beets, you can also roast them in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the beets for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender.
- To make sure the cake is evenly cooked, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
