A rich, moist, firm sweet bread. It's not cloying, but a little bit goes a long way - I'd say more like 12-16 servings (especially with a whipped cream garnish). Next time I would go ahead and puree the raisins with the persimmon, for a more consistent texture and flavor, and double the amount of almonds.
