Butternut Squash Spice Cake
Watch out, carrot cake. An intriguing mix of spices, plus coconut sugar for subtle sweetness, put this butternut squash cake over the top. (And did we mention the bourbon?) You'll need 3 round cake pans (8 in. each).

Better even than carrot cake! Lots of ingredients, but even this cook who flunked out of cake baking school made this cake and it was a smash hit. I used candied ginger "chips" bought in the baking section of the local grocery store, and the little chips gave a very adult spicy hit every so often when eating the cake. The frosting is foolproof to make (another typical failure on my part), although I did turn over the actual application of the frosting to my hubby who is better at it than I. Not having three 8" cake pans, I made it in two 9" and it was just fine. Great presentation, a very adult cake! Thank you Sunset!
