Super way to use leftover roasted winter squash! Blogger Heidi Swanson of award winning 101 Cookbooks says this is more of a cake-like bread than an actual cake, and “it might be the most wonderfully fragrant cake” she has ever baked. She allows latitude if you don’t have garam masala, suggesting pumpkin pie spices or another Indian curry or spice blend.
