Beet Carrot Cake image

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.

This cake is a bit more dense than traditional carrot cake, but it's still very moist and flavorful. I love the cream cheese frosting.
