Air fryer Butternut Squash Cake (Cinnamon Mud Cake)


My kids doesn't want to eat the squash by itself. At first, I was thinking to make a an Instant pot butternut squash candy like the one I ate in the Philippines when I was a kid but it was a thumbs down before after they saw the mashed squash. They don't want to touch it.
I've been thinking to make something for butternut squash for the past few days because my kids doesn't want to eat squash. I was also thinking to use either a brown sugar or white sugar but ended up using a brown sugar as my kids suggested.
I decided to make a cake and told them, it's a surprise cake but they can name it whatever they like after they eat it. It's a thumbs up.
My kids like it. My youngest one told me it's a cinnamon sweet cake while my oldest one told me it's a mud cake because of it's brown color. So, I'm going to call this recipe, Cinnamon Mud Cake. :)
This is my 2nd time making the cake using a bundt pan. I also made a muffin using this recipe.

 If you don't like cinnamon that much. Cut down the cinnamon to 1/2 tsp. I use more cinnamon because my kids love cinnamon and I also try to hide the squash taste.
