BEETNIK CHOCOLATE CAKE
There are other chocolate cake recipes here using beets but this one uses cocoa and other ingredients I have at home. I don't want to lose it but I haven't tried it yet. It's from Mrs. Arthur Eldridge from the Junior League of San Antonio.

BEETNIK CAKE
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.

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

Tips:
- Use fresh beets: Fresh beets have a more intense flavor and a more vibrant color than canned or frozen beets. If you can, buy organic beets to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
- Roast the beets: Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes them slightly. This also makes them easier to peel and shred.
- Use a food processor to shred the beets: A food processor will make quick work of shredding the beets. You can also use a box grater, but it will take longer.
- Add some nuts or seeds: Nuts or seeds add a nice crunch and flavor to the cake. You can use walnuts, pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds, or flax seeds.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the cake from drying out.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Beetnik cake is a delicious and unique cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with a beautiful red color. The cake is also relatively easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time. If you are looking for a new and exciting cake recipe, beetnik cake is a great option.
