directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Then oil a cake pan (I used butter) and sprinkle a little bit of flour on the bottom.
  • Mix the eggs with the sugar and melted butter. Keep mixing until creamy.
  • Add the salt, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract and flour. Finally add the persimmon. When it is mixed well, add the walnuts.
  • Transfer the mixture to your prepared cake pan and back for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool, then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Note: I had to bake mine a whole lot longer than 25 minutes (it was probably more like an hour). My cake came out very wet in texture. I don't know what the texture is supposed to be like so I can't say whether or not I got it right.

  1. It was good but I had a few problems. The directions are not the best.What type of persimmon should I use.. In what order do the ingredients go in , I cooked it 45 minutes and it was heavy even though the tooth pick came out clean. Now I used splenda and that could have caused a problem. .I think this can be better cause 3 stars is not bad.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
