I MAKE this cake a lot because everyone loves it. It's a hit for all occasions. The secret is not to tell anyone it's a beet cake. The beet flavor doesn't take over but makes the cake nice and moist. --Patricia Skalitzky, Oxford, Wisconsin

I added some chopped walnuts to the batter and it gave the cake a nice crunch. I would definitely recommend adding nuts or other mix-ins to this cake.

I made this cake gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend and it turned out great! It was just as moist and flavorful as the regular version.

This cake was a bit dense for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. I would recommend using a lighter flour next time.
