This year Easter was a little different. Last week I introduced you to my best friend Dr. Demarus Crawford-White, who is a higher education executive and a vegan. We talked at length about dessert life as a vegan.  At the end of the episode, I was inspired to explore the world of desserts in the land of vegan. This week in celebration of Easter, I made a classic carrot cake - vegan style. Listen and learn how I did it.
