There are other chocolate cake recipes here using beets but this one uses cocoa and other ingredients I have at home. I don't want to lose it but I haven't tried it yet. It's from Mrs. Arthur Eldridge from the Junior League of San Antonio.

This cake is simply great with the odd ingredient of beets. It goes in the oven pink and comes out a nice rich beige color. It's a great way to use up those extra beets you have from your garden. I often ice it with a cream cheese icing.
