I'm allergic to beets, so I substituted them with grated zucchini. The cake still turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a bit dense and dry.

This beet carrot cake is a delightful twist on the classic carrot cake. The addition of beets gives it a beautiful color and a slightly earthy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet carrots and spices.
