BEET AND CARROT CAKE



Beet and Carrot Cake image

I inherited this wonderful recipe from my grandmother which used almost everything that grew in her garden to make cakes. Moist and colorful, this cake could be prepared during the Christmas holiday's season. My children used to beg for me to make it when they saw beets on the table!!

"DON'T KNOCK IT UNTIL YOU TRY IT" BEET CAKE!!



Yes, this cake is made with beets! And you won't believe how great it is. I got the recipe from a friend who said it is the most requested cake in her family. Even the kids want it for their birthday cake. I baked it for one of our family gatherings and now, I get lots of requests for it too. The batter looks red, but the red bakes out. I use an almond flavored frosting on it sometimes. Other times I just serve it with homemade whipped cream.

THE FANTABULOUS WHOLE WHEAT CARROT CAKE



The Fantabulous Whole Wheat Carrot Cake image

This cake is pretty amazing. It's made without refined flour or sugar, but the taste and texture are sublime: it's not heavy at all. Besides that, there are plenty of carrots, nuts, and pineapple mixed in. Carrot cake is one of my favorites, and it's even better when I can actually feel good about eating it! :-) Frost with a cream cheese frosting (spreading apricot preserves between the two layers is good too). Prep time does not include grating carrots.

BEET CARROT CAKE



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.

BEET AND CARROT CAKE



Beet and Carrot Cake image

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...

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 egg yolks, reserve whites
1 1/2 c white sugar
1 c preferred salad oil (in the 60s we used corn oil)
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp hot water
1 c grated raw beets
1 c grated raw carrots
1/2 c chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

  • 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.
