Notes
Tip from my kitchen: the cake tastes even better on the second day, when the gingerbread base has settled, so feel free to bake it a day ahead. Because of the custard layer, keep it covered in the fridge, where it stays fresh for 2 to 3 days. Instead of fresh persimmon you can use canned apricots (like the original), ripe pear or mandarin. Adjust the gingerbread spice to taste - we like it intense and use the full amount. Finally, cut out little persimmon stars with a cookie cutter, they make the prettiest decoration.
