The flour/sugar/spice ratios are perfect in this cake. We substituted 1/2 cup apple sauce for 1/2 cup of the oil. I am certain that had we used 1 cup oil it would have been MUCH too oily for our taste. Also added a handful of craisins (dried cranberries) and 1 cup rather than 1/2 cup pecan halves. We made with oven roasted green-striped cushaw, but it would be GREAT with any squash. Further, we made one cake Tuesday night for a Wednesday pot-luck (no left-overs!) and one Wednesday night for a Friday pot-luck! (keep you posted)

Bottom line: here's the beauty of this recipe: simple units--4 eggs, 2C flour, 2C sugar, 2C squash, etc. Very easy to measure and mix. Note: I always sift all the dry ingredients by placing the first C flour into the sifter, then adding all the dry spices, etc. salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, powder, soda, etc., then add the second C flour. I don't use the flimsy sifter mechanism, but rather, tap the sifter against the side of the stainless steel work bowl. The resulting mixture then gets added a little at a time to the creamed eggs, sugar, and oil (apple sauce).

I serve it with cream cheese icing though it could be eaten without icing. May substitute pumpkin or other type squash if desired.
