Harvard Beet Cake image

A recipe from a friend in San Diego, Joyce with a real Texas accent. She asked me to try a slice of her "beet" cake and little did I know it is made with beets. My family loves it and none suspects the beets.

This cake was a disaster. It was dry, crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get it to turn out right. The cake is always dry and the frosting is too runny.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe.
