When my mother served this cake to us, I was amazed at the moistness and flavor. I never would have guessed that I was actually eating my vegetables! You can't even tell there are beets in it (their flavor cooks right out), but it's oh, so good. It's like the mystery fruit cake that no-one can quite identify. Give it a try - you won't be sorry!
