PERSIMMON CAKE
If you haven't already discovered the wonders of persimmons, let us be the first to introduce you. This bright orange fall and winter fruit is native to China and commonly used in Asian cuisine; persimmons are beloved for their mild, slightly-sweet flavor and soft, pudding-like interior. The fall fruit adds moisture and a hint of sweetness to this Persimmon Cake. This recipe may sound intimidating, but it's surprisingly easy to execute-the cake batter can be completely stirred together by hand in one bowl. Southerners love our spice cakes, especially in the fall and around Christmastime, and this moist cake maintains a nice spice level from the cinnamon. The walnuts add studs of crunch to the silky-smooth cake. Although this cake makes for a show-stopping seasonal dessert, a leftover slice-quickly toasted-would also make a lovely breakfast. This cake simply exudes holiday spirit. If you can't find fresh persimmons at your local grocery store, don't fret: Persimmon pulp can be ordered online.

PERSIMMON CAKE (OR COOKIES)
This is my mother's recipe. It was one of my favorites that she would make. It reminds me of the holidays, so with them coming, I thought I would share it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I always did! Note: I'm pretty sure she used this same batter recipe for cookies, as it's the only persimmon recipe I found in her...

Steps:
- 1. Mix persimmon with baking soda and set aside. Cream shortening, sugars and eggs together. Add milk to persimmon mixture and mix well. Mix flour and baking powder together in a seperate bowl. Add to persimmon mixture and mix well. Add creamed mixture and mix well. Mix in nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until done. Note: If doing cookies, drop by spoonfuls onto nonstick baking sheet and cook until done (probably 10-12 minutes).
- 2. For cake frosting: When cake has cooled, put all ingredients, except vanilla, in a double boiler and beat for 7 minutes, or until peaks form. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Beat until cool and thick. Frost cake.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season persimmons. They should be soft to the touch and have a deep orange color.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the persimmons by hand.
- Be sure to grease and flour your baking pan before adding the batter. This will help prevent the cake or cookies from sticking.
- Bake the cake or cookies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake or cookies cool completely before frosting or serving.
Conclusion:
Persimmon cake and cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist texture and sweet, slightly tart flavor, these desserts are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new baking project, give persimmon cake or cookies a try!
