A Christmas tradition! Lucille Ball's persimmon cake is a traditional, spiced cake that uses ripe persimmon pulp. The following recipe is a classic version of "Lucy's" cake, often baked in a loaf pan or bundt pan.

    If you can get a hold of persimmons, like at a farmers’ market, you’ll love this cake! I have a neighbor that has a persimmon tree, and it’s a real treat!

    OMG,. This sounds Delicious!!! 😋. My grandma would always bake a persimmon pudding for Thanksgiving 🦃 and Christmas 🎄 For the holidays, she would always add pecans, raisins and coconut to it. I am definitely saving this recipe! Thank You for sharing.

  3. Persimmons are now insanely expensive! But they are delicious.

    I have a very prolific persimmon tree in my backyard, always looking for recipes! Thanks for sharing.

    Edit to ask: would a large loaf pan be like a 9” pan?
