Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) butternut squash
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup turbinado sugar
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 9 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 cups)
- 2¼ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membrane. Place squash, cut sides down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; bake at 400° for 55 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly. Scoop out squash pulp from skins; discard skins. Mash pulp.
