Got a lot of persimmons you don't know what to do with? Here's your chance to make a wonderful, flavourful, spiced and super moist persimmon cake that not only has luscious persimmons in it, but warm spices and delicious caramel sauce that make it extra-special. I love that this persimmon cake actually tastes of fall and winter. This is a great one for the Thanksgiving or Christmas buffet. Make sure your persimmon are soft and ripe.
