The name is pudding, but the texture is more like an extremely moist cake. This recipe IS the holiday season to me. My grandmother makes it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. She used to make it the hard way, but learned a trick in the grocery line one year. A lady had several spice cake mixes and Grandma asked what she was making - she said persimmon pudding. Grandma got the recipe and never looked back. :-) I can't tell you how many people I've had say eww, persimmon pudding? only to beg for another piece! Ingredients:
1 (18 3/4 ounce) box spice cake mix |
3 eggs |
1/4 cup oil |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 pint persimmon pulp |
whipped topping (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix cake mix, eggs, oil and water together in large bowl.
2. Eggs, oil and water quantities may vary with cake mix brand- be sure to double check yours.
3. Add persimmon pulp to batter and mix well.
4. Pour batter into a lightly greased 9 x13 cake pan.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until toothpick placed in center comes out clean (this cake does not rise, don't worry).
6. Allow to cool.
7. Serve cold or at room temperature.
8. Cool Whip or whipped cream is an excellent topping!
