This persimmon bread recipe makes 3 moist spice cake-type loaves. Excellent for Christmas gifts, as persimmons are only available for a brief time. This is the top seller at our company bake sale at Christmas!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup persimmon pulp
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.67 cups water
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease three 6x3-inch loaf pans.

  2. 2

    Combine persimmon pulp and baking soda in a small bowl; let stand for 5 minutes to thicken the pulp.

  3. 3

    Combine sugar, oil, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl; blend until smooth. Mix in persimmon pulp and water alternately with flour. Fold in nuts. Divide batter into the prepared pans, filling each pan 2/3 full.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
