Recipe for Low-Sugar Whole Wheat and Oatmeal Spice Cake with Fuyu Persimmons

1 cup white whole wheat flour

1/2 cup oatmeal crumbs or rolled oats (oatmeal crumbs that have been buzzed in the food processor will give a finer crumb to the cake)

3/4 cup Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener or Splenda (or use sugar if you don't care about having a low-sugar cake)

2 T brown sugar (or use 2 T more Splenda if you want even less sugar)

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/4 tsp. ground cloves (cloves are a strong flavor, some people may prefer to leave out)

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

2 cups grated Fuyu persimmon (about 5-6 persimmons)

1/2 cup chopped pecans

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup buttermilk

1 T vanilla
