Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe persimmons (Hachiya or Fuyu)
- 200 grams sugar
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 whole large eggs
- 120 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 100 grams chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 75 grams raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel and deseed the persimmons if necessary, then puree them in a blender or food processor until smooth. You should have about 200 grams (1 cup) of persimmon puree.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the persimmon puree, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruits to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Mcfadden Ranch Persimmon Bread!
