Persimmon Almond and Bundt Cake

Warren Mendes

Ingredients:

Serves: 10

  • 400-500g weight of ripe persimmon
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 ¼ cup caster sugar
  • 250g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 4 XL eggs, at room temp
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp vanilla bean extract
  • 300g (2 cups) self raising flour
  • 100g almond meal

Yoghurt Drizzle:

  • 1 ¼ cup icing sugar, sifted
  • ¼ cup thick Greek style yoghurt

Method:

  1. Butter a 23cm bundt pan and set aside. Preheat the oven to 170 conventional.
  2. Place the drained apricot, honey, sugar, in a large bowl and use a stick blender to break down the fruit. Add the butter, eggs, vinegar, oil, vanilla and a pinch of salt and process to combine until smooth. Fold through the flour and almond meal using a large spoon or spatula then pour into a well greased 23cm bundt pan.
  3. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
  4. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes then invert onto a cooling rack.
  5. For the icing, combine the yoghurt and icing sugar. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle over the icing and serve.
