Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups persimmon puree
- 3 large eggs, 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.
