I have seen recipes for beet cakes and sauerkraut cakes but never a rutabaga cake. Rutabaga is not a particularly popular vegetable. Quite a few of the recipes I have seen for it combine it with some other vegetable, I guess to disguise it. Well this cake would certainly disguise it but why go to the trouble. Unlike zucchini I don't think many people have an abundance of rutabaga in their garden. If you are going to make a cake why would you risk ruining it by putting rutabaga in it.
Rutabaga Cake
3 eggs
1/2 cup margarine, melted
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups sifted flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 (13-1/4 oz.) can crushed pineapple, drained plus reserve juice for glaze
1 cup shredded, raw rutabaga
1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup flaked coconut
In large bowl, combine eggs, margarine, buttermilk, and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture. Drain pineapple well. Fold pineapple, rutabaga, walnuts, and coconut into batter. Bake in a greased and floured 9 cup Bundt pan at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pan 10-15 minutes, turn out on wire rack or serving plate to complete cooling. Top with a glaze made with powdered sugar and pineapple juice.

Whatever will they put in cakes next?
This remind me of a "George and Martha" episode (based on the books about 2 hippos, they are really terrific books, for kids as well as adults, and the voices in the TV series are Andrea Martin and Nathan Lane)- the TV series episode where Martha's dark secret is that she has a birthmark shaped like a rutabaga.
Much saying of the wonderful word 'rutabaga' ensues!

Hi Rochelle,
Perhaps, this recipe predates the tunnel cake days of the Bundt pan. I suppose they needed to figure out something to do with those pans. Hence, Rutabaga Bundt Cake. Hmmm...
Interesting post:)
