My grandmother is the most amazing cook I know and this is one of my favorite cakes that she makes. It simply melts in your mouth. She usually cuts up some fresh berries to put on top of the cake which makes it the perfect southern dessert!

I didn't have any butternut squash on hand, so I used pumpkin puree instead. The cake turned out great!

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise evenly, but it still tasted good.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

This butternut pound cake was a hit with my family! It had a moist, dense crumb and a nutty flavor from the butternut squash. I loved the streusel topping, which added a nice crunchy texture.
