Kind of like Pumpkin Cake, but made from scratch rather than a mix.

Ingredients
- ~3 pound butternut squash (mine was 3.37lb and I had some leftovers)
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice *
- Don't have any pumpkin pie spice? Make your own!
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Other stuff you need:
- Crisco
- more flour
- 9x11 pan
- oven
- oven mitts
- cooling rack
Directions
- Put some water on to boil.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Take the skin off the squash. Start cutting up your squash into chunks for easier cooking.
- Keep going until you reach the bulbous seed pocket. Chop the pocket in half to reveal the seeds.
- Use your Super Ultra Magical Seed Remover Wand® and remove the seeds.
- Oh, what's that? You don't have a Super Ultra Magical Seed Remover Wand®? Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but fear not, my good goon, you can use its more primitive prototype, also known as a spoon.
- Once you have everything chopped up,
- dump them in the pot and let them boil for approximately 15 to 25 minutes,
- or until fork tender.
- While the chunks boil, get the rest of the ingredients measured out. They're in order left-right top-bottom according to the ingredient list up top. Please note that I like to pretend I eat healthy so I replaced 1/2 cup flour with 1/2 cup whole wheat flour.
- Mix the dry crap together.
- Grease and flour your favorite 9x13.
- When your squash is ready, drain the chunks carefully...
- ... and mash the chunks up so that you have approximately two cups' worth of squash. Got leftovers? Put them aside and you'll see why later.
- Mix the squash, eggs, and dry mixture together until it resembles chunky baby food. Pour into your floured pan.
- Pop the pan into the oven for approximately 45 minutes...
- ... or until random wooden or metal instrument inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool and either frost it or enjoy it naked. Bon appétit!
