Tips:

  • Prep the Squash: For best results, choose firm, ripe squash. To easily remove the squash skin, pierce it a few times with a fork and microwave it for 2-3 minutes before peeling.
  • Measure Accurately: Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially for the squash and flour. This will ensure the cake's texture and structure are perfect.
  • Don't Overmix: Mix the batter until just combined to prevent a tough, dense loaf. Overmixing can also result in a less vibrant green color.
  • Chill the Batter: Chilling the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking helps to firm it up and prevent the loaf from rising too much in the oven.
  • Bake Thoroughly: Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf to check for doneness. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Cool Before Slicing: Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing. This will help prevent it from crumbling and ensure clean, even slices.

This Two-Colored Squash Loaf Cake is a delicious and unique treat that is sure to impress. With its vibrant green and orange layers, moist texture, and sweet, slightly nutty flavor, this cake is perfect for any occasion.
