Coffee Cake Recipe

Coffee Cake Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the oven and baking pan

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

2. 2

   Make the cake batter

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, and mix until just combined.

3. 3

   Prepare the persimmons

   In a small bowl, toss the sliced persimmons with brown sugar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to caramelize slightly.

4. 4

   Assemble the cake

   Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, layer the caramelized persimmons on top, then pour the remaining batter over the persimmons. Use a spatula to smooth the top.

5. 5

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. 6

   Make the Maple Chantilly

   While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add maple syrup and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

7. 7

   Serve

   Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve slices of the cake topped with Maple Chantilly.
