You could say this one is special because it’s vegan, whole-grain, oil-free. Or, that it’s special because it has nutrient-dense sweet potatoes in both the frosting and cake. But, I think it’s special in that the whole is far more than the sum of its parts. And, it’s special because of how readers are embracing it, and celebrating special family times with this recipe!
