Butternut Squash Spice Cake

Made this for dessert today, divided into muffin pans for easier serving. We all thought it was really good, and might add a thin bit of cream cheese glaze next time.

Very dense and maybe a little dry. Didn't add any type of frosting. Taste like pumpkin bread. Not sure if I'd make it again.

Another addictive recipe from My Recipes.....delicious!

Very tasty, but seemed more of the texture and consistency of a pumpkin bread than a cake. Next time, I might whip up a little glaze to top it to make it more cake-like...or add a streusel topping to make it more of a coffee cake. Seems like a versatile recipe that has great base flavors and can easily be personalized.

Very tasty and healthy. I cut back the butter to about 1/3 cup. Also used about 1 1/2C white flour and 1/2C whole wheat flour since I did not have whole wheat pastry flour. Cake is dense - like a snack cake or coffee cake - but moist and full of flavor.

Great taste! very easy to make- just bought already but up squash from grocery store (about $5) and microwaved it. Much quicker and worth it! I also added a bit more cinnamon and allspice, and bought the cream cheese frosting to add to the top that really brought out the sweetness to it (GREAT as a muffin!!) will definitely make this again! (TIP: as with i leaned for cookies, putting the prepared mix back into the fridge helps keep the muffins moist)

This cake came out perfect. I loved the spice combination and the whole grain flour worked well. I have a VERY picky 2 year old son who enjoyed this cake as well! Definitely will be making this one again.

I loved this. It is so warm and spicy. In order to speed things up, you can also cook the squash in your microwave - just cut it into chunks and microwave 6-10 minutes. Also, if you don't have whole wheat pastry flour, it works to substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour.

very easy to make if you have the squash already prepared, otherwise, it's time consuming. I used pumpkin left over from Halloween, instead of butternut squash. Tastes fantastic. Moist, sweet, spicy. Yummmy with coffee or tea! Freezes well.
