Gluten Free Persimmon Cake Recipe

My grandmother’s persimmon cake is one of our long-standing family traditions. She would bake a loaf for each of our families during the holidays which we would indulge in over breakfast during the following week. This recipe features fall’s bounty of fruit and spices that evoke the spirit of the season.
