This is so easy and tastes great. Very moist and with little butter, tastes almost like pound cake. Good for health concerned people.

I had two cups of persimmon pulp in my freezer which I thawed. I used 1/4 cup softened butter and added a tsp of vanilla and 1 cup chopped walnuts- excellent flavor, moist and not too sweet. Lower baking time.

Delicious! I added vanilla, walnuts, and chocolate chips. So moist, and not overly sweet at all. Be warned: this cake does not rise very much, it's almost more like a bread. I made mine in a Bundt cake pan - plan to make one for the Christmas dinner table and put some greenery and stuff in the middle. Because it's a pretty cake, too!

Hey, I found this site when I was searching for information about cooking with persimmons. I have been buying frozen Hachiya persimmons from a specialty grocery store for healthy snacks for my kids, but am intersted in using them for baking too, will give this a try!
