I combined my two favorite things - kabocha squash and chiffon cakes.

In Step 4, make sure to whip the meringue until stiff so that it won't drop even if the bowl is turned upside-down.
If you add sugar from the beginning, the meringue won't form, so take care to add after whipping briefly. For 18 cm [7.1 in] chiffon cake mold. Recipe by kiki
