Vegetable Cake

List of Ingredients

1 C Potatoes, shredded, un-peeled
1/2 C Zucchini, shredded
1/2 C Carrots, shredded
1/2 pkg Yellow Cake Mix, any brand OR 1 box Jiffy Brand Yellow Cake Mix
1 Egg, or equivalent substitute



Recipe

Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. This cake may be baked a couple of different ways:

1- Using 'waterless cookware', bake in a medium sized saucepan on top of
your stove. Prepare pan with a thin coating of vegetable shortening, and
pour batter into pan. Preheat burner to medium heat, then turn burner to low
heat when placing pan on burner, and bake 10- 12 minutes, covered, or until
cake is completely done.

2- Using a 1-1/2 quart covered casserole dish, prepare dish with a thin
coating of vegetable shortening, and pour batter into dish & cover. Bake in
a 350 degree F oven 20 - 25 minutes or until batter is completely done.

You may need to run a butter knife between the cake and the side of the pan
when removing cake from pan/dish. Just place a dinner plate on top of the
pan/dish and invert until cake falls onto the plate. This is a very moist
cake and will not require frosting.

This is a great way to sneak vegetables into your family's diet! You will never know there are vegetables in the cake- they just give the cake moisture and a great amount of nutrition!

Variation: Pineapple Upside-down Cake. Before adding batter to pan or dish,
place 2 Tbsp. melted margarine & 1/3 cup brown sugar in bottom. Arrange
several slices of pineapple on top of the margarine/sugar mixture, then pour
batter on top of the pineapple. Bake the same as directed above.
