Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups cooked and mashed winter squash (such as butternut or acorn squash)
- powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan, ensuring all the crevices are well-coated.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the mashed winter squash until thoroughly incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a denser cake.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, using a spatula to smooth the top if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar for a decorative touch before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Winter Squash Spice Bundt Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
