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...

Steps:
- 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.
