Very good recipe! As another reviewer noted, you don't taste the squash. The cake is moist and had an excellent crumb, texture and flavor. I used a simple confectioners sugar glaze made with fresh orange juice & orange zest instead of the cream cheese glaze.
I had additional leftover spaghetti squash that I seasoned with savory spices, to make muffins. For the savory muffins, I left out the sugar, cinnamon and ginger, and added parsley, thyme, onion powder, and bake the muffins at 400' for 15-18 mins. So, this is a versatile basic recipe that can be altered many ways to use leftover spaghetti squash.

This is really good cake. Easy to make. I got spaghetti squash in my CSA box and I really don't like it - couldn't even tell it was in the cake. Its really moist. Will definitely make again - probably would do a double batch and do two layers
