Ingredients:


  • 1 1/4 cups persimmon pulp
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed

Directions:


  • 1   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch baking dish or cake pan.
  • 2   Whirl the pulp in a blender until smooth. Blend together the persimmon pulp and baking soda in a small bowl.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; gradually blend the flour mixture into the persimmon mixture. Stir in nuts and citrus zests; batter will be stiff.
