Persimmon Pudding Cake image

Found this lovely little pudding/cake online and wanted to share from: Simply Recipes http://simplyrecipes.com There are two kinds of persimmons: Fuyu (the squatty ones that look a little like tomatoes) and Hachiya (the bigger, egg-shaped fruit). This recipe uses the Hachiya, which is best when VERY ripe and/or after the first frost.

I'm not a big fan of persimmons, but I thought I would give this cake a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the persimmon flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I would definitely make this cake again.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more butter or oil. But the flavor was good and I would recommend it to others.

I had some trouble finding persimmons, so I used canned pumpkin instead. The cake still turned out great! I would definitely recommend this cake to anyone who loves pumpkin pie.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover persimmons. I had a few that were starting to get too ripe, and this cake was the perfect way to use them up. It's a moist and flavorful cake that's perfect for breakfast or dessert.

I love the unique flavor of this cake. It's not your average chocolate or vanilla cake, but it's still incredibly delicious. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something different.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this cake was to make. I didn't have any persimmons on hand, so I used canned pumpkin instead. It turned out great!
