Fuyu Persimmon Cake with Carmalized Brown Sugar Topping image

This type of persimmons is not simiular to the Hachiya persimmon in consistancy. This is the kind we grow in FL. I also found recipes on the net for them from CA. This type of persimmon needs to be blanched and peeled like a tomatoe. It is then grated, sliced or diced. It the firmness and likes of an apple.

  • 5. Take a butter knife and make lots of slits. This doesn't look pretty but it get the topping to seep in well. Pour topping into center of cake and spread all over, making sure it goes in between the cake and the pan. Let sit till cooled. The topping will firm up. Cut and serve.
