This takes me back. I remember over 30 years ago the old folks using squash to make dessert. People that are long gone now. There's was more like a custard than a cake though. And although my kiddie palate couldn't appreciate more sophisticated or strange fare, I still remember kind of liking it.

Appreciate the comment. The squash custard is a memory for many, including myself. This recipe is delicious as well. Thanks for commenting and watching.

I'm going to try this using Zuchinni. My "mock" apple pies are made with Zuchinni and No one knows it's not real apples. I love squash fried pies and that is how I started my kids out on eating squash.
