Dust of Snow by Robert Frost (1923) |
Makes eight servings
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup cooked winter squash Puree (e.g., acorn, butternut, etc.--frozen squash puree can be used)
1/4 cup buttermilk
Preheat the oven to 350F. Coat a 9 by-5-by 4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Sift the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter at high speed until fluffy. Gradually beat in the sugar. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating between additions. Beat in the vanilla. At low speed, beat in the flour mixture, alternating with the squash puree and buttermilk. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Turn it out onto a rack and let cool completely.
