Can I substitute butternut squash for the pumpkin?

I’m asking the same question about the 2 cups of flour in the topping? Is that amount correct? Thank you! I’m looking forward to making this cake since I have pumpkin in my pantry to use up.

I have had my eye on this coffee cake since the first time I saw it on Pinterest and I finally had a chance to make it last night. I have compliment you on that beautiful picture as that’s what really drew me in. It’s gorgeous! So I made this and it is delicious! Not as nice looking as yours, but the taste was awesome so that made up for it. That being said, I just have a couple of questions if you have a minute. (which I doubt because as I can see you definitely have your hands full!) First, is the 2 cups of flour for the topping really necessary? I ask because it seems like a lot, and it looked like a lot on my cake. It was so dry and I was actually blowing a bunch of it off when done. Did I do something wrong? Also, I’ve made brown butter icing before and I’m great at browning the butter, lol, but I always have this same problem, which is when I add the powdered sugar and milk it becomes gummy, oily. I spend a lot of time playing with it then, adding more sugar, warming it up…. Anyway, it looked terrible but tasted great. I can see why you chose brown butter icing for the finishing touch. Do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Should I wait for the butter to completely cool, as I’ve never done that. Or warm up the milk? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

All of the feelings you just expressed here are WHERE I AM AT RIGHT NOW. Except instead of motherly duties, it’s med school duties. Why are couches so comfy?

In reply to Jessica @jessicagavin.com. Thanks Jessica! Yeah a calendar really helps. I have been better about using my planner. I think that I just need to plan ahead better. Even when I have a few hours I often am tired so just relax or get distracted. I need to stay organized!

Lovely cake Audra! I just realized that you are expecting baby number 2, congrats! I’ve been following your blog with Hugo, especially since I was pregnant around the same time with baby James. I’ve been curious to see how blog mommies are doing with more than one baby, and you are doing an amazing job! I try my best to create a blog calendar so that I have ideas in the works as I get motivated or have to blog which has super helped with having a lil one running around now. The key is to stay flexible, and I also make baked treats while he naps, or do more recipe development on the weekends when dada can keep and eye on kiddo. Looking forward to hearing about your new baby journey!
