2 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine flour, soda, salt, sugar, and cocoa in a bowl; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and oil. Beat in vanilla and continue beating until well blended. Slowly beat in dry ingredients until well mixed. Stir in beets.
Pour into a greased and floured 9"x13" baking pan. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until cake bounces back when touched lightly with finger.
Cool in pan on a rack. Frost cooled cake or dust with powdered sugar.
Poster's Notes:
I did NOT cook the beet before adding to the batter. Some recipes said cook, some said mash, some said grate. Since I didn't know how they wanted it cooked, I just grated it and added it. Figured it would be like the chocolate zucchini cake I made, which called for grated, uncooked zucchini.
