Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease two 9-inch-round cake tins and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the flours, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and set aside.
  3. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add vanilla, sugars and grated lemon rind and mix well. Add oil in a slow, steady stream until well combined. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients along with beets and dried cherries. Divide batter between prepared cake tins.
  4. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until cake is deeply brown, has pulled away from the edges of pan and a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Run the edge of a knife around the edges to loosen and turn out on a rack to cool.
  5. Cream the cheese and butter using an electric mixer or food processor until soft and smooth. Beat in vanilla, icing sugar and lemon rind until incorporated and smooth.
  6. Spread icing over first layer of cake, top with second layer and ice the top and sides. Chill until ready to serve.
  7. Serves 12.
