* 1 cup milk

* 2/3 cup butter (softened)

* 1 teaspoon cinnamon

* 2 cups flour

* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

* pinch or two of salt

Cream butter and sugar

add eggs beat more

add milk and flour alternately

add persimmon pulp

Bake 350 for 1 hour

Best results from using an iron skillet as a baking dish (this makes the outer edge a bit crispy while the inside remains nice and moist)
