Harvard Beet Cake image

A recipe from a friend in San Diego, Joyce with a real Texas accent. She asked me to try a slice of her "beet" cake and little did I know it is made with beets. My family loves it and none suspects the beets.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the frosting next time.
