Time 35m

Yield 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
4 persimmons, peeled, seeded and mashed
6 ounces walnuts
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 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.

This cake is a great way to use up persimmons when they're in season. It's also a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla coffee cake.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but it was still pretty good. I think I'll try using a different type of flour next time.

The cake was a little dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Overall, it was a good cake and I would definitely make it again.

I'm not a big fan of persimmons, but I actually really enjoyed this cake. The coffee glaze really helps to balance out the sweetness of the persimmons.

This cake is a perfect balance of sweet and tart. The persimmon adds a lovely moisture to the cake, and the coffee glaze gives it a rich, decadent flavor.

I've never had persimmon in a cake before, but it was surprisingly delicious. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the coffee glaze was the perfect finishing touch.
