I DID make my usual recipe adjustments and this recipe was among the recipes I'd adjusted! With the crumb mixture, I omitted the oats! For me, this worked out well-especially since it was a squash coffee cake, I figured with just a regular crumb topping, folks would go for that! Cake: I used 1\/2 cup margarine, rather than butter-flavored shortening! I also used: 1 Tbsp. ground Navel orange for flavor! I'd used 1 tsp. each of baking soda and salt instead of 1\/2 tsp.! I'd kept the baking powder and flour the same! I also used 1\/4 tsp. EACH of ground nutmeg, ginger and ground cloves! For the squash, I'd cooked a 12-oz. package of frozen squash in our microwave oven as package directed and measured it out when it was finished with the prescribed time. I got exactly 1 cup! I added the applesauce along with the sifted dry ingredients to batter after adding squash and vanilla to creamed mixture and beat 5 minutes. I'd creamed the sugar and butter until light and fluffy and then added the eggs, beating 5 minutes each on medium speed. I'd then blended in squash and vanilla, beating 5 minutes on medium speed. I did grease and flour a 9\" springform pan, spread 1\/2 the batter into prepared pan, then sprinkled with 1\/2 of the crumb mixture. I then spooned rest of batter evenly over crumb mixture and topped with remaining crumb mixture.I baked 50 minutes at 350o F. I had placed the cake pan on a baking sheet, with bottom wrapped in aluminum foil so the bottom would not leak! Taste Recipes gave this very helpful tip! I did cool in pan 10 minutes, then carefully removed sides, turned cake over and eased the bottom of pan off of the cake. I then turned cake right-side up to cool completely.I purposely included applesauce IN the batter, rather than spreading over cake batter!I also left the cake UNGLAZED!

I prepared this cake for the first time since the cooking challenge this week was for winter squash. I DID make my usual recipe adjustments and this recipe was among the recipes I'd adjusted! With the crumb mixture, I omitted the oats! For me, this worked out well-especially since it was a squash coffee cake, I figured with just a regular crumb topping, folks would go for that! Cake: I used 1\/2 cup margarine, rather than butter-flavored shortening! I also used: 1 Tbsp. ground Navel orange for flavor! I'd used 1 tsp. each of baking soda and salt instead of 1\/2 tsp.! I'd kept the baking powder and flour the same! I also used 1\/4 tsp. EACH of ground nutmeg, ginger and ground cloves! For the squash, I'd cooked a 12-oz. package of frozen squash in our microwave oven as package directed and measured it out when it was finished with the prescribed time. I got exactly 1 cup! I added the applesauce along with the sifted dry ingredients to batter after adding squash and vanilla to creamed mixture and beat 5 minutes. I'd creamed the sugar and butter until light and fluffy and then added the eggs, beating 5 minutes each on medium speed. I'd then blended in squash and vanilla, beating 5 minutes on medium speed. I did grease and flour a 9\" springform pan, spread 1\/2 the batter into prepared pan, then sprinkled with 1\/2 of the crumb mixture. I then spooned rest of batter evenly over crumb mixture and topped with remaining crumb mixture.<\/p>

I baked 50 minutes at 350o F. I had placed the cake pan on a baking sheet, with bottom wrapped in aluminum foil so the bottom would not leak! Taste Recipes gave this very helpful tip! I did cool in pan 10 minutes, then carefully removed sides, turned cake over and eased the bottom of pan off of the cake. I then turned cake right-side up to cool completely.<\/p>

I purposely included applesauce IN the batter, rather than spreading over cake batter!<\/p>

I also left the cake UNGLAZED! Thank you for this recipe! delowenstein<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"03\/04\/2015 20:08","GUID":"d052fe7a9f4541dabf871f32b43f88ca","MemberId":3766053,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"delowenstein","SubmittedDate":"03\/04\/2015 20:05"},{"Comment":"

The family loved this moist coffee cake!

I didn't have a springform pan so instead I baked it in 3 round cake pans, it tastes delicious but it turned out dry. I'm not sure yet it it was the recipe or baking it in 3 pans that made it dry, but it will need some adjustments for me to make it again.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"10\/15\/2010 19:14","GUID":"1af091da9c3e4f918c23d4f2f8fb8974","MemberId":3884606,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"htalbott","SubmittedDate":"10\/15\/2010 19:14"},{"Comment":"

Used butternut squash out of the garden - good cake - a little too much sugar topping.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"07\/05\/2010 09:59","GUID":"e82ccfd2abfb42a8beb8e08460a81a07","MemberId":4346648,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"CWOCN","SubmittedDate":"07\/05\/2010 09:59"},{"Comment":"

Great cake. Used apple butter istead of applesauce. Don't really use instant oats but found a packet of cinnamon spice instant so scooped the oats out of it and used. Came out SO GOOD!<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"05\/12\/2010 16:40","GUID":"8736017A008B4F58B811E478A27C1D28","MemberId":2459876,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"vmbry","SubmittedDate":"05\/12\/2010 16:40"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"11\/30\/2009 17:12","GUID":"421DD2F469294E7EB73188FBB25DD4B0","MemberId":682205,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"saraquarius","SubmittedDate":"11\/30\/2009 17:12"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"08\/31\/2009 12:31","GUID":"39ab9309c82a42f8a8a1b00ecb2b6c3d","MemberId":1296856,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tabbiati","SubmittedDate":"08\/31\/2009 12:31"},{"Comment":"

Absolutely attractive and delicious coffee cake!<\/p>

I made it with the beautiful buttercup squash my Dad grew in his garden and the result was sooo good, yet I managed to misplace this recipe for a long time, so I am so thrilled to have found it again!
