BOURBON SQUASH CAKE
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.

Tips:
- Use a medium grater to shred the squash so that it blends well into the cake batter. - Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated squash before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent the cake from becoming too wet. - If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - For a sweeter cake, use an extra 1/2 cup of sugar. - If you want a more moist cake, add an extra 1/4 cup of oil. - For a richer cake, use an extra 1/2 cup of butter. - Be sure to grease and flour the Bundt pan well before adding the batter. This will help prevent the cake from sticking. - Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. - Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.Conclusion:
