CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE

I received this recipe many years ago from a friend at work,and I thought it was so different I had to try it.It is a very rich chocolate cake and has great flavor,surprising you cannot taste the beets,but it has great texture.Do not make the mistake another co-worker made when she tried it,she used bottled pickled beets and it was a disaster.When I make it I use canned beets and I have also used fresh cooked beets,they were equal in taste.
I hope you try it and let me know how you like it.

1-1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup canola oil
3 large eggs
1 can beets (19 ounce-well drained-chopped)
2 squares chocolate (melted)
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a large mixing bowl cream the sugar and the oil.Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.Sift together flour,baking soda and salt.Add melted chocolate and chopped beets.Stir in dry ingredients and vanilla and mix well.
Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan,pour mixture into pan and bake at 350 F. for 1 hour,or until a toothpick comes out clean.Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
I frost this cake with a chocolate butter cream icing.Enjoy!!
