I was kind of surprised to see this in my grandmother's recipe box a while back. It had lots of little stars around the outside she had put on it. I decided to try it out myself... it was sooo moist. I decided to post this in honor of my Grandma Helen.

A slice of Bourbon Squash Cake on a plate.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Move over pumpkin, there's a new squash in town. Acorn squash makes this cake super tender and moist. Baked perfectly even, it's slightly golden outside and tender inside. It just melts in your mouth. Simple old-fashioned ingredients create a wonderful treat. The bourbon gives a very slight flavor (but it's not harsh) and is a nice complement to the cinnamon. Powdered sugar makes the presentation beautiful and adds a touch of sweetness.
