Shhh! Don't Tell Them It's Squash Bread image

From my mother's aunt's collection. This recipe doctors up a cake mix with some pudding and yellow crookneck squash into 2 sweet tea loaves. You'll never know there is any squash hiding in this easy & moist recipe. She originally got this recipe from the Chicago Tribune back in 1978.
