Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter. Cover the bottom of the pan with a piece of parchment cut to size. Butter the parchment.
• Use your hands to peel the skin and stem off the persimmons and put the flesh into a food processor or blender. Puree the persimmons.

Add the sugar, buttermilk, butter, egg, and vanilla to the persimmon and whisk thoroughly.
• Into a medium bowl, sift the almond meal, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt (if some of the almond meal remains in the sifter, just dump it into the bowl). Add to the persimmon mixture and whisk together until smooth and blended. Pour into the prepared cake pan and transfer to the oven to bake
• Pour into the buttered pan and bake until firm to the touch (no indent when you press with a finger), and a toothpick comes out clean, 50 minutes.
• Let cool for 10 minutes. The cake will deflate, but that's what makes it as much pudding as cake! Cut straight from the pan or invert pan onto a plate and set right side up.
