MONDAY

Once again the forecast rain and thunderstorms did not materialise and, so far at least, we have had a sunny day.

A few days ago I noticed a recipe in our local paper for a persimmon cake and it was gluten free.  I have never cooked with persimmon before but the cake sounded delicious - it was made mainly with almond meal and had cardamon in it which makes anything taste good.  To start with I could not find my ring-tin but came across it yesterday.  We only had a couple of persimmons left and it is the end of the season so today was the day.  It was an easy cake to make - not large but I will make it again - it would be good with most fruit.  and it was DELICIOUS and would be good either as cake or dessert.

  1. That looks like a very interesting cake. I've never heard of one being made with persimmons before, but it sounds delicious :)

  2. That looks and sounds delicious. I don't know what my mother would think of the ingredients that we use to cook with today. I think she would be shocked, as many of the spices, herbs and food ingredients are all products that she would never have even heard of. I also make a similar cake using fresh plums and cinnamon, which I began making after a visit to Austria where it is a national cake.

    1. Plum and cinnamon sound a good combination. I make a cake with raspberries and cardamon so may try this with rasberries as it is quicker.
