Instructions

1. 1.Preheat the oven to 175C and grease and line an 8-inch square brownie tin. In a large bowl, mix the soy milk and vinegar together. Leave this for five minutes to allow the milk to thicken, then stir in butter, hot water and vanilla. Mix this well.
2. 2.In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, powder, salt, and sugar together. Fold this mixture of dry ingredients into the milk mixture, until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
3. 3.To make the persimmon paste, dice the persimmons. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until you get a smooth puree.
4. 4.Pour one half of the cake mixture into the pan, and spread it around, flattening it with a spatula. Add in the persimmon paste, and use the spatula (clean it first!) to form a thin layer of paste over the cake batter layer. Top this with the remaining cake batter, spreading it around and flattening it for the third layer.
5. 5.Finally, make the crumble. mix together all the crumble ingredients in a bowl until it starts to resemble breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this crumble all over the top of your prepared cake. Bake it in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until golden and a little toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Set this aside to cool.
6. 6.If you want to top this with a drizzle (which is yum), mix together the drizzle ingredients in a small bowl, then use a fork to drizzle the glaze over the cake when it is cool.
