A fresh Hachiya persimmon should feel soft and jellylike when ripe. Lemon juice may be added to the puree to prevent discoloration and enhance the taste.

Time 1h20m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ¼ cups persimmon pulp
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon orange zest
½ teaspoon lemon zest
¼ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch baking dish or cake pan.
  • Whirl the pulp in a blender until smooth. Blend together the persimmon pulp and baking soda in a small bowl.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the puree to the creamed mixture. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; gradually blend the flour mixture into the persimmon mixture. Stir in nuts and citrus zests; batter will be stiff. Spoon into prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, and turn out on a rack to continue cooling an additional 20 or 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
