    Current Image


    Incorporating squash into a chocolate cake adds flavor plus fiber, vitamin K, phosphorus, and folate.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or cooking oil of choice)
    • 1 package cake mix, dark chocolate
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 1/4 cups water
    • 1 cup squash, shredded or finely chopped
    • chopped walnuts (1/4 cup, optional)

    Directions

    1. Wash hands with soap and water.
    2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
    3. In a large bowl, combine cake mix and cinnamon.
    4. Add eggs, water, and oil. Blend until combined, then beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes on medium speed.
    5. Fold in squash. Add nuts if you like.
    6. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until cake springs back when lightly touched.

    Notes

    Other Ideas:

    • Use a greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 45 minutes.
    • To lighten cake, try 6 egg whites in place of whole egg.
    • Replace 1/2 cup oil with 1/2 cup applesauce.
