Persimmon Pudding Cake

Persimmon Pudding Cake
Like bread pudding meets spice cake meets flan.
Serves 8 · Prep 15 min · Cook 55 min · Total 1 hr 10 min
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 to 1½ cups sugar
- 2 cups persimmon pulp
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1½ to 2 cups milk
Instructions
- Beat the eggs.
- Add the pulp, sugar, vanilla, butter, and baking soda. Beat with an electric mixer.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Add milk until desired consistency, like pudding.
- Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and bake at 325°F for 55 minutes. It rises, then falls when it comes out — that’s normal.
- Serve with whipped cream or caramel sauce on top.
Notes
- It rises in the oven and falls as it cools — that’s supposed to happen.
- Jolie baked this batch in two small pans at Dockside — a greased 9×13 works just as well.
