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...

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, mix the sugar, oil, egg yolks, vanilla, and hot water.
- 2. Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together. Add carrots, beets, nuts, and flour mixture to the oil and sugar batter, and stir just until moistened.
- 3. Whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold them into the batter.
- 4. Divide this batter equally between two prepared 8 inch round cake pans or two well greased loaf pans.
- 5. Bake cakes at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until cakes pull away from the sides of the pans.Cool and ice with cream cheese icing or double wrap and freeze.
- 6. I often ice, slice, and freeze these cakes. I love taking out a piece or two to share, spontaneously, with a friend.

[email protected]This cake was a disaster! The frosting was too runny and the cake itself was dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
