Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 10-cup (2.5-liter) Bundt cake or tube pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- To make the cake, in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the currants and brandy or whiskey to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let cool.
- Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Stir in the granulated sugar. In a medium bowl, mix together the 3/4 cup (6 ounces/170 g) melted butter, persimmon purée, eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, add the persimmon mixture, and gently stir. Fold in the currants, along with any unabsorbed liquid, and the nuts. Mix just until everything is moistened; don't overmix.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Once cool, invert the cake onto a serving plate.
- To make the icing, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese and 1 tablespoon butter on high speed until smooth. Beat in the 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and the lemon juice, then gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on high speed until smooth. Add the 4 teaspoons water; the icing should be pourable. If necessary, add 1 more teaspoon water.
- Spoon the icing around the top of the cake, then tap the plate on a folded kitchen towel on the countertop to encourage the icing to run down the sides of the cake.
- Storage:
- This cake will keep for 4 days at room temperature.
- Variations:
- If you don't have persimmons, or if they're not in season, you can substitute unsweetened applesauce or banana purée for the persimmon purée.
Tips for Making Persimmon and Cinnamon Crumb Cake
- Use ripe persimmons: The riper the persimmons, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be. Look for persimmons that are soft to the touch and have a deep orange color.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a light touch when measuring the flour: Too much flour can make your cake dry. Use a light touch when measuring the flour, and don't pack it into the measuring cup.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the cake will make it dry. Check the cake for doneness a few minutes before the baking time is up.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
