Here's the recipe:
Beet-Chocolate Cake
10 Servings
Ingredients:
2 cups Sugar
4 free range organic eggs
2 cups flour
1/4 cup oil
3-4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (I only had powdered cocoa, so I followed the substitution guidelines on the package: 3 T cocoa and 1 T oil for each oz. unsweetened choc.)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups shredded beets
Directions:
Combine dry ingredients.
Sift or mix well together.
Melt chocolate very slowly in a double boiler.
Allow chocolate to cool, then blend thoroughly with eggs and oil.
Combine flour mixture with chocolate mixture, alternating with beets.
Pour into 2 greased 9 inch cake pans.
Bake at 325 for 40-50 minutes, or until a fork can be removed from the center cleanly.

I found it in this book
And then I put this yummy frosting on it. Sorry, I lost the link
1 cube butter, softened
4 oz. cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup good quality cocoa
Mix it up and spread it on. It doesn't look like it'll get to frosting consistency, but it does. This one really does need an electric mixer. It's the best (and easiest) frosting I've ever made.
This is all that's left of the cake:
We pretty much killed it last night. Oh, there were at least 10 people, not just me and Tom.
