I inherited this wonderful recipe from my grandmother which used almost everything that grew in her garden to make cakes. Moist and colorful, this cake could be prepared during the Christmas holiday's season. My children used to beg for me to make it when they saw beets on the table!!

BEET AND CARROT CAKE



Beet and Carrot Cake image

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...

BEET AND CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES



Beet and Carrot Cake Cupcakes image

This is a modification of Recipe #114622. I reduced the fat and sugar and added some pineapple and raisins. I made it for a Mexico missions trip, and it was a hit with the high schoolers and adults alike. It can also be made in cake form, as in the original recipe. To make it even healthier, substitute 1/2 cup of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour.

Tips:

  • For the perfect texture: Ensure your cake batter is not too thick or too thin. It should be smooth and pourable, resembling pancake batter consistency.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will yield the best flavor and texture in your cake.
  • Don't overbake the cake: An overbaked cake will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
  • Decorate the cake as desired: Get creative and decorate your cake with your favorite toppings, such as cream cheese frosting, chocolate ganache, or fresh berries.

With its vibrant colors, delicious flavor, and moist texture, this beet and carrot cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
