Writer Notes
After I made a decision to compose a persimmon upside-down cake, I did not narrate that the consume of an typical pineapple upside-down cake recipe would flee, so I went for a sturdier, denser cake, reinforced with extra egg yolk and ground nuts. I also cherished the thought that of caramelization through maple syrup, which, it looks, is staunch with the fruit. The flavors will mellow and meld in a single day, but the cake will defend very moist, so it is miles a staunch bake-forward dessert, even supposing ideally it is miles going to be served heat. I genuinely be pleased the consume of the historical cast-iron pan, but in case that you would perchance no longer like one, ensure to make consume of a minimal 10-drag cake pan—there’s a fair amount of batter. Fundamental, even supposing, is to make consume of fuyu persimmons, which just like the lawful texture for the recipe (barely than hachiyas, that are too soft). Decrease them in slices parallel to the equator to rep the candy little enormous name sample. – vvvanessa —vvvanessa
