Recipe by Roxane's Workshop
A moist cake in Halloween colors, made with finely grated butternut squash instead of carrot and a velvety cream cheese frosting flavored with vanilla. Perfect for autumn evenings, this dessert is assembled in two stages: a frosting prepared ahead of time, then an airy cake with a light texture. Simply decorated with sugar decorations, it will delight both kids and adults.
