- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the butternut squash, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
