Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Butternut squash puree
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 Eggs
- 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard-sized bundt pan, or use a non-stick baking spray.
If you're starting with raw butternut squash, roast it in the oven until tender, then puree until smooth. Measure out 1.5 cups and let it cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the butternut squash puree to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula or mixing spoon until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it around evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a simple decoration.
Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
