Ingredients

12 serv.
  • vegetable oil1 teaspoon
  • all-purpose flour1 tablespoon
  • eggs3
  • sugar1 1⁄2 cups
  • butter1⁄2 cup

    melted

  • salt1⁄4 teaspoon
  • baking powder2 teaspoons
  • cinnamon1⁄4 teaspoon
  • vanilla extract1 teaspoon
  • all-purpose flour2 cups
  • water1⁄4 cup
  • persimmons4

    peeled, seeded and mashed

  • walnuts6 ounces
  • powdered sugar2 tablespoons

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Then oil a cake pan (I used butter) and sprinkle a little bit of flour on the bottom.

  2. 2

    Mix the eggs with the sugar and melted butter. Keep mixing until creamy.

  3. 3

    Add the salt, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract and flour. Finally add the persimmon. When it is mixed well, add the walnuts.

  4. 4

    Transfer the mixture to your prepared cake pan and back for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool, then sprinkle with powdered sugar.

  5. 5

    Note: I had to bake mine a whole lot longer than 25 minutes (it was probably more like an hour). My cake came out very wet in texture. I don't know what the texture is supposed to be like so I can't say whether or not I got it right.
