A discussion of recent search trends
The latest Google search trends show that entertainment (“The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” movie, “Best Artist” music program), sports (soccer, “Champions Cup” horse race), and people (Tadashi Nagai, Yoshiki Tanaka, Maki Otsuki, etc.) are the most popular topics. In particular, “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” was ranked multiple times, indicating a growing interest in timeless stories and nostalgia. This theme of “timelessness” is likely to lead to a food trend that goes back to the “warmth of homemade” and “old-fashioned taste” that we tend to forget in the busyness of our daily lives. Lifestyle words such as “athleisure” are also being searched for, indicating a health-conscious and active lifestyle and a need for easy and healthy sweets to accompany it. In addition, several JRA-related words were also seen, suggesting a focus on food as a weekend pleasure and a bit of luxury. These combined trends suggest that homemade sweets that are nostalgic, new, and health-conscious are the perfect fit for the current mood.

material
| Material name | amount |
|---|---|
| (A) Light flour | 100g |
| (A) Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Butter (unsalted) | 80g |
| sugar | 70g |
| egg | one (object) |
| (cow’s) milk | 2 tablespoons |
| Squash, peeled and cooked | 50g |
| chestnuts (roughly chopped) | 50g |
| Rum (to taste) | 1 teaspoon |
| Melted butter (for coating the molds) | small quantity |
| Strong flour (for dusting molds) | small quantity |
way of making
- Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease a pound cake mold (for 2 mini-sized or 1 18 cm) with melted butter and lightly dust with strong flour. Dust off any excess flour. This will prevent the dough from sticking together!
- （Sift together the flour and baking powder from (A). This step is the secret to making a fluffy pound cake.
- In a bowl, add butter that has been brought to room temperature and mix well with a whisk until creamy. Make sure it is fluffy and aerated!
- Add the sugar to the bowl of butter in three additions, mixing well each time. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes whitish and mayonnaise-like. Emulsifying the mixture here will result in a moist dough.
- Add the beaten eggs a little at a time, mixing well so that they do not separate each time. The key is to add slowly, without rushing.
- Add mashed pumpkin until smooth, roughly chopped chestnut nectar, and rum to taste, and mix all together evenly. The aroma is filled with the bounty of autumn.
- Add the flour mixture from (A), and mix with a rubber spatula. It is OK if the mixture is still a little powdery.
- Add milk and mix gently until powdery. It is essential not to overmix until shiny.
- Pour the dough into the prepared mold and gently drop it onto the table a couple of times to release the air. Flatten the surface with a rubber spatula.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 30-35 minutes. When a bamboo skewer is inserted and no raw dough sticks to it, it is done baking. The sweet and savory aroma wafting out of the oven is truly the aroma of happiness!
- After baking, remove from the molds, remove from heat, wrap in plastic wrap and cool completely. The next day, the flavors will blend together and it will taste even better.
This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points
The most important points of this recipe are to thoroughly mix the butter and sugar to make it aerated, and not to overmix the flour. Just by carefully following these two steps, you will end up with an amazingly moist and fluffy pound cake. Also, by softening and cooking the pumpkin and chestnuts in advance, they are evenly mixed into the batter, allowing the rich flavors to be enjoyed wherever they are eaten. By using mini pound molds, baking time can be shortened, and the cake looks lovely and makes a great gift. This is truly a dish that will give you a taste of “victory” with ease.
