Persimmon Cake
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. The cake made according to this recipe turns out moist and at the same time very tender, slightly crumbly. Its amazing aroma and unique taste will not leave you indifferent. For a more piquant flavor, we’ll add a hint of mandarin. If you’re a fan of cinnamon, feel free to add some as well. Choose overripe dates for this bake; a firm one will not work at all. I hope you’ll like the recipe—give it a try.

Step 4
Now add persimmon puree. For this I cut the persimmon in half and grate it; the skin that remains in your hands is not needed. Use only the flesh. If the persimmon turned out very juicy, it's better to drain some of the juice beforehand.
