How to Make Aunt Edna's Persimmon Pudding

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the persimmon pulp.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the pudding cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy warm or cold, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
