 NOTES : Once considered dessert, carrot cake now takes on many different roles in
a meal. Here is a new twist: Add freshly grated gingerroot to the batter, bake it
in muffin tins, and serve the sweet muffins for breakfast or as a snack. Warm
them in the toaster oven or microwave and serve with Cream Cheese and Garlic Dip
(recipe included in this cookbook).
