HARVARD BEET SPICE CAKE
This old fashioned spice cake is unusual but very good. The additional of the beets keeps this cake moist. I like to serve this with Cool Whip or whipped cream. This recipe was in a couple of local church cookbooks and seems to have been a local favorite for a while backm in the 1960's.
