Persimmon Cake (or Cookies) image

This is my mother's recipe. It was one of my favorites that she would make. It reminds me of the holidays, so with them coming, I thought I would share it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I always did! Note: I'm pretty sure she used this same batter recipe for cookies, as it's the only persimmon recipe I found in her...

This persimmon cake was a delightful surprise - moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. I used Fuyu persimmons, and the cake had a beautiful golden color and a slightly chewy texture. I will definitely be making this cake again!
