Squash cake a a Gastro Fun

It is time for squash, which be used for both cooking as well as baking. I have testing this recipe on squash cake a la GastroFun. 

As other suggestion for helping out on a surplus of squashes, when take a look at these baking recipes in form of

• squash buns with whole grain flour
• squash cake a la Valdemarsro
• squash cake with butter
• Preben's squash cake with cinnamon cream cheese topping
• squash cake a la Årstiderne

The squash cake is served on a ceramic plate made by Kræs Jelling found at Upcomers market Spring 2020.

I think, that the recipe could use some more spice taste together with some raisins and/or nuts to bring some more texture differences to the final cake.
