Instructions

For the cake

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut squash in half and seed. Poke squash halves with a fork a few times, then place both halves on a baking tray and roast for about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool to touch. Scrape out all of the flesh, and puree in a food processor until smooth.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a bundt pan; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together sugar, hemp butter, eggs, vanilla, sage, hemp leaves, squash puree, and yogurt until smooth. Add dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour into prepared bundt pan and bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack.

For the glaze

  • Chop fresh sage and hemp leaves into thin, small pieces and add to granulated sugar. Pour in lemon juice and vanilla; stir to combine.
  • Brush the glaze onto the warm cake. Important: Use all the glaze and brush on the while the cake is still warm. Sprinkle with hemp seeds. Let the cake cool completely before serving. To get a nice crust on the cake, refrigerate for two hours before serving.
