Persimmon Pudding Cakes

 


Ingredients:
2 large persimmon, pureed (1 cup pulp)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 ½ cups evaporated lowfat milk
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 egg
½ cup egg substitute
2 tabelspoon melted butter
½ cup raisins
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg

Instructions:
Remove the stem and some of the "core" of the persimmon and puree in a food processor. Mix the puree, applesauce, milk and sugars together in a large bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the eggs and egg substitute along with the cooled melted butter. Stir in the raisins. In a separate bowl sift together all the dry ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the persimmon mixture. Spray individual mini cake molds or large flat muffin pans with nonstick spray (I like to bake these in heart shaped muffin pans I have that
are approximately 3" in diameter and ¾ inch deep). Fill the pans about ½ full with the batter and spoon any remaining batter in evenly amongst all of them. 

Bake the cakes until they are set and spring back to the touch. Let the cakes cool in their pans before removing to a platter. Place them into a warm oven briefly before serving- they will still be quite moist and pudding like and it brings back the full flavor.
