The persimmon cake is a dessert to prepare when you have ripe persimmons 🙂

This morning with the bad weather I didn’t feel like going out, so I dedicated myself to cooking some delicacies.

With the approach of Christmas, I started with Christmas cookies and Genoese pandolce, but I also ran out of breakfast dessert.

Yesterday I went to my trusted fruit vendor to buy some fruit and vegetables and, as always, I was given something.

To avoid throwing away overripe fruit that can no longer be sold, the fruit vendor gives it to me, and I often use it to make jams and other times I use it in desserts.

This time he gave me ripe persimmons, and I immediately used them to make a dessert for tomorrow’s breakfast 🙂

Persimmons are sweet, and I didn’t use much sugar, but those who prefer can increase the amounts.

With a few ingredients, I prepared a genuine dessert suitable for everyone 😀

It is a soft and light cake as I like it.

Those who wish, once the persimmon cake has cooled after baking, can dust it with powdered sugar as desired.
