- Add eggs one at a time, whisking quickly to combine well.
- Sift both flours and baking powder into the bowl and combine with a spatula.
- When all the dry ingredients are incorporated, add the kabocha squash.
- The batter is done when all the ingredients are well combined.

- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center.
- If it comes out clean, it's done.
- They are fluffy, soft and tasty.
- Taste of simple kabocha flavor delicious.
- Cut in halves.
- It's moist and not dry.
- When it's cool enough, wrap with plastic wrap.
- They're really tasty the day after baking, too!
- Here is a Halloween version.
- In fact, this recipe is almost the same as "Fluffy Kabocha Squash Steamed Cake".
- The difference is the baking procedure.
- It's good when steamed too.
- You can enjoy two different versions, baked or steamed.
- Both are delicious.
- I think it would be delicious if you add chocolate chips, jam or cream cheese as an accent.
