Today I made a Kabocha squash cake. Kabocha squash is a very popular ingredient in East Asia. In Korea, it is used a lot, especially for baking, while Pumpkin is used less often. When I first came to the United States, it was interesting that in the United States, kabocha squash was not used at all for baking, and pumpkin was a very common ingredient in baking. The two flavors are similar but slightly different. Kabocha squash has a slightly firmer texture and a fresher taste. If you’ve never tried kabocha squash in baking, give this one a try! It’s very good.
