Persimmon Crunch Cake
With Persimmons/Amarphal making their way to our grocery shelfs recently, we thought why not enjoy this sweet juicy fruit in the way we do best. Add it to our Mixes, ofcourse!
This fruity cake with the touch of warm spices with a crunch is exactly what you need to treat your palate to this autumn.
To make this simple and quick tea cake, we used our Carrot Cake Mix and swapped the grated carrots for the pulp of an over ripe Hachiya Persimmon. The nuts and dry fruits add a crunchy element while making it more wholesome.
This quick 5-ingredient tea cake recipe is perfect for when you want a moist cake without the hassle. Try this recipe before the Persimmon season ends, here's what you need,
Ingredients:
