Remove and leave to cool, then mash to a coarse puree.<\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 180\u00baC\/350\u00baF\/Gas mark 4. Grease a 20-cm\/8-inch round cake tin and line the bottom with greaseproof paper. Beat the butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the ginger and cinnamon. Sift the flour over the bowl and fold in, then fold in the mashed squash.<\/p>\n<p>Fill the cake tin and bake for about 50 minutes until risen and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n<p>To decorate, put the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream until almost boiling, then pour over the chocolate. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Leave to cool and thicken slightly.<\/p>\n<p>Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Pour the dark chocolate icing over the cake then spoon the melted white chocolate into a piping bag. Pipe concentric circles on the cake. Draw a skewer from the center to the outside to create\u00a0 spiderweb effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get scary at Halloween with this fabulously moist and succulent cake made with roast squash or pumpkin.
