Nectarine Upside Down Cake

Nectarine Upside Down Cake! I absolutely love nectarines. They are probably my favorite fruit… wait… yup… definitely. Favorite fruit. I bought a flat of gorgeous white flesh nectarines and just had to try my usual pineapple upside down cake with them! I’ve actually made THREE this week!! lol The kiddos just devour it, and it’s so darn pretty that each time the cake stand was empty, I just HAD to make another one 🙂 Well… that AND the fact that the other recipes I had in mind required ingredients that I didn’t have on hand… and I wanted to use these gorgeous nectarines while they were perfectly ripe. I guess I’ll just have to buy another flat for my other recipes??!! 🙂

Author: Vixen's Kitchen

Recipe type: Dessert

Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 3 nectarines, pitted and sliced into 1 inch slices
• 8 Tbs. butter, melted and divided into half
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking soda and salt. Whisk until combined, and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 4 Tbs. melted butter, vanilla extract and eggs. Pour this mixture into the large bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until combined. Set aside.
4. Pour 4 Tbs. melted butter into a round 9 inch cake pan. Make sure to coat the sides of the pan with butter, so your cake doesn’t stick! Sprinkle ½ cup brown sugar on top of the melted butter. Arrange the nectarine slices on top of the sugar in a pretty circle. Gently spread the cake batter on top of the nectarines. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake sit for about 15 minutes to cool slightly. Run a knife around the outside edges before flipping onto a plate or platter. Enjoy!!
