• To make the cake, in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the currants and brandy or whiskey to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let cool.
• Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Stir in the granulated sugar. In a medium bowl, mix together the 3/4 cup (6 ounces/170 g) melted butter, persimmon purée, eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, add the persimmon mixture, and gently stir. Fold in the currants, along with any unabsorbed liquid, and the nuts. Mix just until everything is moistened; don't overmix.
• 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 cool, invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Beat in the 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and the lemon juice, then gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on high speed until smooth. Add the 4 teaspoons water; the icing should be pourable. If necessary, add 1 more teaspoon water.
• Spoon the icing around the top of the cake, then tap the plate on a folded kitchen towel on the countertop to encourage the icing to run down the sides of the cake.
• Storage:
• This cake will keep for 4 days at room temperature.
• Variations:
• If you don't have persimmons, or if they're not in season, you can substitute unsweetened applesauce or banana purée for the persimmon purée.

PERSIMMON AND CINNAMON CRUMB CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9 by 2-inch rectangle pan with 1 teaspoon of the butter. In a medium-size non-reactive saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the brown sugar, persimmons, and the lemon juice. Saute the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water. Add to the persimmon mixture and cook, stirring, until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. In a large mixing bowl, cream 1/4 pound (1 stick) of the butter and the light brown sugar with an electric mixer. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Into a medium-size mixing bowl, sift 3 1/2 cups of the flour, the baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the salt. Add the flour mixture, buttermilk, and vanilla to the butter mixture and beat with the electric mixer until everything is incorporated. In another medium-size mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, the remaining 1/2 cup flour, the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Using your hands, combine the mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Spread half of the batter in the prepared pan. Spread the persimmon mixture over the batter. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the persimmon mixture, about 1-inch apart. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the surface. Put the cake pan on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, dark Karo, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the frosting over the top of the coffee cake. Cut into slices and serve warm.

Spoon into prepared cake pan.
