Ingredients

3 cups flour

2 tbs baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3 eggs

1 cup brown sugar

5 tbs butter (unsalted)

1 can beets

2 tbs poppy seeds

zest of 1 large lemon

For Glaze:

1/2 lemon

1/2 brown sugar

1/2 powder sugar

2 tbs beet juice

poppy seeds

Directions

Preheat hot box to 350F

combine flour, salt, and baking powder, set aside

beat sugar, butter, and eggs

puree beats in blender or food processor, add to wet mixture

add poppy seeds, lemon zest, and lemon juice to wet mixture

combine wet and dry

transfer dough to sprayed and floured loaf pan

Bake for 1 hour or until done (you know when its done)

combine glaze ingredients in saucepan over low heat

pour glaze over loaf while still hot and in the pan

once glaze is set remove from pan and cool on rack

Enjoy because beets are wonderful! It may scare people, but I lie and say its strawberries until they take a bite...cream cheese or jam (homemade of course) make it even better.

OK! So I made this a second time to send to my bestest friend for finals week--and everyone liked these changes (im trying to use up my pantry because the semester is out in a week and I'm movin back home and can't pack up all these ingredients--so its scratch and scrounge time!)

Instead of butter: 1/4 cup oil
Add about 1/8 cup of the beet juice (gives it more beet flavor, and a bit more moist)
Add 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract

AND instead of glaze: Crumble top!
2 packets of instant oatmeal (or i suppose 1 cup oats)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp butter
lemon juice
3 tbsp beet juice
mush it up with fingers and stuff it on top of loaf, or muffins!
