Make sure to thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture from the cooked spinach to prevent the cake from becoming too wet.
Feel free to add extra seasonings or herbs, such as garlic powder, nutmeg, or thyme, to enhance the flavors of the cake.
You can substitute other types of winter squash for butternut squash if desired, such as acorn squash or pumpkin.
