Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh nectarines
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 whole Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Wash the nectarines, slice them thinly, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Neatly arrange the nectarine slices on top of the batter in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping them.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy your fresh nectarine cake!
