1 pound very ripe persimmons
6 eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar (or Sucanat, read about natural sweeteners)
2 1/3 cups ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
Preheat the oven to 375F.
1. Slice the persimmons in half and scoop out the flesh, place in a food processor and briefly pulse, then add remaining ingredients and pulse to a pulp.
2. Oil an 8-inch springform pan and pour mixture in. It is a very, very wet batter.
3. After 40 minutes, cover with foil to prevent top from burning. Cake is done after about an hour total, or when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. Once cool, remove from pan. It can be served immediately, but improves after one day.
5. Serve with creme fraiche, whipped cream or Greek yogurt if you like.

How much pulp do you use? I have the puree already and I have no idea how many pounds of persimmon it comes from.
