Here’s a freaky fact that might just come in handy the next time you need to bake an emergency carrot cake and find that you are out of carrots – you can substitute the same amount of shredded POTATOES and still get a totally awesome cake out of it! Sure, it’s more of a spice flecked beige than orangey-brown but the cake is just as moist and wonderful. How do I know? I ate some over the weekend. I would never have believed it otherwise.
But because I’m me, now I’m wondering what would happen if you substituted beets for the carrots. Pretty in pink or just plain yuck??
