Ingredients

• 4 large ripe persimmons (Hachiya)
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.

Step 2

Remove the skins from the persimmons and puree the flesh in a blender or food processor until smooth. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of persimmon puree. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 7

Stir in the persimmon puree, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans until well blended.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
