First recipe of the new year is CAKE. Should be some kind of ridiculous “detox” salad or smoothie bowl (aka cold fruit soup). This is of course ignoring the fact that the only legitimate detox is one that occurs in a medical setting and is reserved for addicts. I digress. You will never see a supposed “detox” recipe from me because they don’t exist. Also I personally hate smoothies. Just eat the fruit people.
Back to this cake, this lovely spiced cake with a tangy crunchy lemon glaze. This cake disappeared FAST. That spice + tang combo cannot be beat. I also loved that it uses up persimmons which aren’t that common. Persimmons have a very muted flavor but they become so soft when ripe and blend up so easily and are perfect for cakes! Kind of like pumpkin but without the strong taste that pumpkin delivers. You don’t even have to peel these before blending, just lop the tops off and whir away!
