Brown Butter Spice Cake
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon hazelnut oil
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup muscovado sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pureed roasted squash
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons muscovado sugar
- Place a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; simmer, stirring frequently, until butter is browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 10 to 20 minutes. Stir in hazelnut oil. Set aside until cool but not set.
- While butter is cooling, sift whole wheat flour, baking soda, garam masala, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl.
- Whisk 1 cup sugar, eggs, squash, and milk together in a smaller bowl. Whisk in the still-melted butter. Fold in the flour mixture and most of the almonds.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining almonds and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges have browned and center is set, 50 to 60 minutes. Do not overbake; cake should be moist.
