The Last Persimmon Harvest Of The Year 🍊 + Cozy Autumn Baking 🍂
As autumn sweeps in with its vibrant hues and crisp air, it’s that magical time of year when nature delivers its final bounty—persimmons. This luscious fruit not only fills the heart with warmth but also inspires us to create delightful treats that embody the essence of the season. Today, I’m excited to share a tender and aromatic Persimmon Cake recipe that will undoubtedly embrace you with cozy flavors, perfect for your autumn gatherings!
Embrace the Magic of Persimmons
Persimmons, with their unique sweetness and velvety texture, deserve the spotlight in our kitchens. As we prepare for winter, it’s a time to savor these gems that herald the end of harvest season. Their rich, golden hue mirrors the falling leaves, reminding us of the beauty in change and the delicious flavors it brings.
Ingredients
To embark on this baking journey, gather the following ingredients:
- 300 g Persimmon (Puréed)
- 3 Eggs
- 250 g Sugar
- 8 g Vanilla Sugar
- 100 g Melted Butter
- 300 g Flour
- 1½ tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- A Pinch Of Salt
- 100 g Toasted And Chopped Nuts
- 80 g Powdered Sugar
- Juice Of ⅓ Lemon (Optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare The Batter
Begin with the heart of the cake—our batter. Toast the nuts lightly in a skillet, filling your kitchen with their warm, nutty aroma. Once golden, chop them coarsely. Next, purée the persimmons; you want a smooth, luscious consistency that will blend beautifully into your cake.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs alongside the white sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy—this is where the magic starts! Slowly add in the melted butter, whisking gently to create that perfect base. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, followed by the fragrant cinnamon. Finally, fold in the chopped nuts and give everything a good stir until combined and smooth.
2. Bake The Cake
Now, let’s bring our creation to life. Prepare a 22 cm baking pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and greasing the sides with a touch of oil, ensuring easy release once baked. Gently pour the cake batter into the pan, appreciating its rich color and texture.
Slide the pan into a preheated oven at 190–200°C and let it bake for 75 minutes. As it bakes, your home will be filled with the enticing scent of autumn! If you notice the top browning too quickly, don’t hesitate to cover it lightly with foil around halfway through.
3. Finishing Touch
Once the baking time is up, test for doneness with a wooden skewer—it should come out clean if your cake is perfectly cooked. Take it out and allow it to cool completely.
While the cake cools, let’s make it even more enticing. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with the optional lemon juice to create a smooth, glossy glaze. Pour this lovely creation over your cooled cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides. For a final touch, feel free to decorate with extra nuts, a light dusting of sugar, or even a slice of fresh persimmon.
A Slice of Autumn
This Persimmon Cake is not just a dessert; it’s a celebration of the season! Soft, fragrant, and perfectly autumnal, it captures the essence of cozy evenings spent with loved ones. As you savor each bite, let the sweetness of the persimmons and the warmth of the spices melt your heart. Cheers to the last persimmon harvest of the year—let’s make it memorable! 🍂💫
