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.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 15 servings

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups shredded beets

  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the vegetable oil and sugar until well blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the shredded beets and pineapple with juice. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice and salt; stir into the beet mixture until just incorporated. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

  3. Bake for about 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. When cool, frost as desired, or eat plain.
