For best results, use very ripe persimmons for the pulp. The pulp should be soft and almost jelly-like. If you don't have nonstick cooking spray, you can grease the pan with butter or shortening and then dust it with flour. Feel free to add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) to the batter for added texture and flavor. This cake keeps well at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Be sure to wrap it tightly to prevent it from drying out.
