I pureed 2 butternut squash's and doubled the recipe because of it. I wanted to make a healthy breakfast muffin for my husband who leaves early in the morning. So I did everything according to directions except I baked them in as a muffin for 30 min. They came out perfect, and my husband loves them. Thanks for the recipe Sheila!

Moist, delicious & relatively healthy cake. I reduced sugar to 1.25 cups and it was still plenty sweet without frosting. Thanks for the tips on using fresh squash. I, too, used 3 cups of fresh squash instead of canned.

Delicious! Even after I forgot to add the raisins! Like Tricia Ann I used cooked, mashed butternut squash instead of canned (impossible to find in the UK). I glazed the two cakes this recipe made with melted honey and a dusting of icing sugar (to make up for my missing raisins ;) ). My boyfriend loves this cake!
