Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9x5-inch
loaf pan with parchment paper, letting
excess extend over sides of pan.
Whisk together flour, granulated
sugar, orange zest, baking powder,
baking soda, salt, and cardamom in
a large bowl. Make a well in center.
Whisk together eggs, cream, and
orange juice in a small bowl. Add egg
mixture to flour mixture, and stir until
combined. Fold in diced persimmons.
Spoon batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 40 minutes. Top with
persimmon slices, and bake until a
wooden pick inserted in center comes
out clean, 30 to 35 minutes more.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Using
excess parchment as handles, remove
from pan, and let cool completely on a
wire rack.
Garnish with confectioners’
sugar, if desired.
