Ingredients

• 3 whole ripe persimmons (Hachiya or Fuyu)
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 120 milliliters sour cream
• 100 grams brown sugar (for crumb topping)
• 75 grams all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 60 grams unsalted butter, melted (for crumb topping)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

Peel and puree the ripe persimmons in a blender or food processor until smooth. You should have approximately 1 cup of persimmon puree; set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and the persimmon puree.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated after each addition.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

To make the crumb topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
