To make Persimmon Rum Bundt Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350 °F and grease a 12-cup Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt until combined.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter sugar together until creamy.
Add eggs and beat again until combined.
Add ⅓ dry ingredients to the bowl and mix on low speed.
Add rum and ½ persimmon purée. Mix until combined.
Add another ⅓ dry ingredients and remaining puree and mix again.
Toss dates in the remaining flour and add to the mixture. Fold through to combine with batter.
Add walnuts and fold to evenly spread through the batter.
Transfer batter to prepared Bundt pan and bake in preheated oven for 55-60 minutes until baked and a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in cake pan for 10-15 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
In saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Once the butter has melted, continue to cook, stirring occasionally until mixture is bubbling and foamy as it cooks. Continue cooking until butter smells fragrant and nutty and rich brown in color.
Remove from heat and pour into a heat-safe bowl to cool for 20-30 minutes before using.
In a medium bowl, stir cooled butter, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla and milk until combined and smooth. Glaze should be thick but pourable. Add additional ½ tablespoon milk if needed.
Pour glaze over cooled bundt cake to serve.
