Persimmon Cake
Description
Persimmon Cake highlights ripe persimmon puree blended into a batter of all-purpose flour, baking soda, and warming spices including cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg. The combination of melted butter and sugar contributes to a moist crumb, while the baking soda helps the cake rise and maintain tenderness. Optional toasted walnuts or pecans mix into the batter to add crunch and depth. After baking in a prepared Bundt pan, the cake is inverted and cooled fully before being dusted with confectioners sugar for a subtle finishing touch. This cake suits fall or winter occasions when persimmons are in season and offers a simple way to use this fruit in baking.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups persimmon puree
- 3 large egg at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts or pecans, toasted and finely chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 10-cup (2.5-liter) Bundt cake or tube pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in the granulated sugar.
- In a medium bowl or standing mixer, stir together the 3/4 cup melted butter, persimmon purée, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture on low and stir just until everything is moistened; don't over mix. Stir in the chopped nuts, if desired.
- 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 the cake is cool, invert onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners sugar and serve.
