A Interesting Cake could be made if your not a fan of persimmons that are mushy
I am sure you could even buy a boxed cake, and add them to it

I have not made the cake, but used them In a smoothie, tasted like Sherbert ice cream
and vinified  a wine from them, and aged the wine as well (own recipe)
I actually liked the wine I made with the spend left over fruit surprisingly

It was not much but even though it lacked flavor I liked the subtle flavor in that wine. 

I am not a huge fan of super sweet food,  but the vitamin A in this fruit makes you feel full,
and sometimes I crave it , I like how in a smoothie it cuts down the sweetness as well

I think you should try a bread instead looks like you might like that better
Pudding is what is most popular -- funny Ihave not tried but still have a bunch frozen in   gallon bags
(bought 2 buckets full 5 gallon buckets mostly for seed I can pick wild)
not as bad to separate seeds as it seems

When I still lived in South Carolina I made a Persimmon- Pumpkin cheesescake. Nilla wafer butter crust. Made it at the last minute on a whim. Native persimmon pulp from my tress 50-50 with canned pumpkin pie filling , cream cheese, sugar, some cream cheese frosting off the shelf, cinnamon, pumpkin and apple pie spice, vanilla, rum, and almond extracts, heavy cream and more sugar. I guess I got the proportions wrong since it was improvisational.  It cracked deeply while baking in a 13x9 pan but I added a couple bags of marshmallows and they melted caramel into the cracks with a creme brulee type crust on top. A lucky accident. Best Thanksgiving dessert ever with 2 native fruits starring !!! The combo of persimmon and pumpkin was synergistic, much better than either alone.
