Light and Moist! Kabocha Cake
I got kabocha squash at a good price, so I mashed up a lot of it and thought up this Halloween themed cake recipe. With the mashed kabocha squash , cream and lots of butter, these butter cakes are soft and airy yet moist.
In order to mix the batter properly so that the cakes turn out light and soft, I used a handheld mixer! You can use a whisk instead - be sure to beat the batter properly. If If you don't have mini-kugelhopf molds, use mini pound cake molds or muffin tins (same baking time) or a large pound cake mold (360F/180C at 40 minutes).
The icing should be pretty stiff! For 4 mini kugelhopf molds. Recipe by Toiroiro

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bring the butter and eggs to room temperature. Mix the ● ingredients together and sift 3 times.
- 2
Put the butter in a bowl, and mix with a handheld mixer on the low-speed setting until white and creamy (you can use a whisk too).
- 3
Add the granulated sugar in 3 batches. Beat the butter and sugar with the hand mixer on low speed until fluffy.
- 4
Beat the eggs, and add to the bowl little by little, with the hand mixer set on medium speed.
- 5
Add the mashed kabocha squash and heavy cream, and keep mixing.
- 6
When everything is well mixed, add the ● ingredients all at once. Mix it in with a rubber spatula using a cut-and-fold motion. Don't overwork the batter!
- 7
Just before the batter loses its flouriness, add the red grapes (or raisins) and rum (or rum essence), and mix until the batter is not floury anymore and turns glossy.
- 8
Divide the batter between the 4 molds. Bake in a preheated 360F/180C oven for 20 minutes. They are done if a bamboo skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- 9
While the cakes are baking, mix the powdered sugar with a little egg white to make a rather stiff icing. Drizzle the icing over the cakes while they're still warm.
- 10
Decorate the cakes before the icing hardens with kabocha seeds and silver dragées, and they're done! You can just dust the cakes with powdered sugar instead of putting on icing and they'll be just as cute.
- 11
The cakes are so soft and moist! The raisins and the hint of cinnamon are keys to their wonderful flavor.
- 12
How about wrapping them like this to give as gifts? The recipients are sure to be happy!

I received a lot of kabocha squash, so I baked this. I referred to the cheesecake recipe from user "KERO mama" because I love her fluffy cheesecake.This cake rises quite high. If you use an 18 cm mold, cover the sides of the mold with parchment paper higher than the mold height and bake in the bottom rack. The first time I made this, I baked in the middle rack, and the cake stuck to the top of the oven!!When you mix the last 1/3 of the egg white in Step 6, turn the bowl around as you mix.Do not over-mix as the egg white bubbles will disappear. However, if you do not mix enough, the cake will be like a white and yellow marble cake. Recipe by Chikkun mama -
Fluffy Kabocha Squash Chiffon Cake Fluffy Kabocha Squash Chiffon Cake
It was too much of a bother to strain the kabocha and mix with a hand mixer.It turned into a chiffon with the delicious texture of kabocha .If you keep mashed or puréed kabocha squash on hand, then you can make this easily.Please use 4 egg whites if you can! I freeze my leftover egg whites. The meringue will not mix well if there is leftover water or oil on the hand mixer or in the bowl so please be careful. As long as you mix it up without messing up the meringue you will not fail! Please adjust the cooking time based on your household oven. Recipe by Rosemary. -
Chiffon-Style Kabocha Squash Cake Chiffon-Style Kabocha Squash Cake
This is a kabocha squash cake I learned about 10 years ago from a certain bistro chef. The sweets at his shop were all made through trial and error. I altered his recipe by reducing the sugar and adding rum and it's become one of my favorites. Definitely give this moist and smooth texture a try. This cake is delicious when cooled in the refrigerator as well.If there are a few lumps left over after smashing the squash, it's okay (but if you're worried about it, maybe try using a strainer). In Step 3, it'll be okay even if you mix it very well. However in Step 4 for the meringue you'll want to mix well, but don't crush the meringue. Since this is a very moist cake, when you're slicing it, I recommend using a knife for cutting bread. For 21 x 11 pound cake pan. Recipe by Yukiline -

I wanted to make a kabocha squash cheese cake, but I didn't have any cream cheese. So I came up with something from what we had on hand.The cream in Step 2 should have stiff peaks forming. Be careful not to over-mix until the cream separates.If you use whipped cream, you don't really need to worry about it separating, so it's easier to make.If you use whipped cream, you'll have a lighter, fluffier texture. If you use heavy cream, it will be deliciously rich. For 20 cm [7.9 in] round pan. Recipe by Mizusora Hitomi -
