I had good intentions...

...to purchase beets at the grocery store and make a healthy salad. Really, I did. Then I found this recipe: Beet cake with cream cheese frosting.


It really is a beautiful batter and looks like a natural substitute for red velvet cake. The natural dye eventually cooks out, leaving a moist cake.

It really was delicious, but I would probably grate the beets on the smaller holes of the vegetable grater for the next batch; the pieces were a little too large for cake.


All in all, a good recipe. It reminds me of V8 fusion - a great way for me to get my veggies...with cream cheese frosting on top.
