"This is an old family recipe. Don't tell your kids the secret ingredient, or they'll make oogy faces. This is a very moist rich cake with a lovely color, and the frosting is wonderful." — RACHELS

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups beets, peeled and shredded
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
This was a recipe I'd been trying to track down for awhile (so happy to find it) You MUST use raw beets or the cake turns into muck. Excellent cake, very moist. Goes great with coffee. Served at a bridal shower and got rave reviews.
The cake is ok but diffently not my favorite chocolate cake! Did not like the frosting recipe at all...

Did not like this recipe at all.
I found this cake to be very moist and tasty. My kids and husband all loved it. I have passed along this recipe to a few people and have good reviews as well. I used a cream cheese icing instead of this one though and it's good with or without icing.
Sadly, I was dissapointed. The ingrediants did NOT flatter each other very well, and moisture was lacked in this crummy recipe!
Liked the cake but not the frosting.
Sadly,I was dissapointed with this one.It sounded so promising and didn't turn out at all the way I hoped.

It's the perfect cake for the Fourth of July.
This carrot cake is dense and delicious, a real crowd-pleaser.
