I have had maybe dozens of different root vegetable preparations using
turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, carrots, etc. I never turn down a chance to
try a new dish because you never know when something will sneak up on your
that you will like.

Carrot cake isn't my favorite but it is good enough mostly because the
"carrot" flavor is over powered by the other ingredients, especially the
cream cheese icing.

Years ago I filled in for a week as an assistant to a pastry chef. People
raved about his brownies and how moist they were... as well as his other
cakes. His "secret" was that he pureed carrots and added them to many of
his recipes, especially the ones that had chocolate in them. He told me
that the carrot pulp helped retain moisture and the sweetness of the carrots
accentuated the flavor of chocolate.

They were good brownies, that's for sure.
