This is so crazy it might work! Will have to try it. Can they be canned beets?

I kind of like Tomato Soup Cake..bet I would like this as well.

~Question,Please~

Do you think I could use Baby Food Beets,instead of cooking the fresh?

Thank-you for this different sounding cake.

Hope you and your family have a wonderful evening.

Kind Regards
