COUNTY FAIR GRAND CHAMP CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE

County Fair Grand Champ Chocolate Beet Cake image

I found this many years ago, made and entered it in our County Fair and won Grand Champion. I sent it to Gooseberry Publication as well and got published in one of their dessert cookbooks. The first time I made it, I kept everyone out of the kitchen so they wouldn't see the beets or they never would have tried it. This is so moist and chocolatey, really yummy. Hope you try and enjoy.

BEET CAKE

Beet Cake image

I found this recipe handwritten in my grandmother's well-worn cookbook. I've made it many times, and my four grandchildren love it (they think it's just a moist chocolate cake). It's especially appropriate for this contest because our state is known as the beet-growing capital.
