Tools and equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 Celsuis)
- Add the melted butter into the cake pan.
- Evenly add 6 tablespoons of brown sugar to the pan.
- Add the nectarine slices in a star pattern on top of the brown sugar and butter, making sure to fit as many as possible.
- Sprinkle 2 additional tablespoons of brown sugar evenly over the nectarine slices, along with the freshly grated nutmeg. Set aside while preparing cake batter.
- In a large bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another large bowl (of a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer), cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- Add the egg, yogurt, milk, and vanilla and blend until combined.
- Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture (scraping the sides down on occasion) until a thick but creamy batter is formed.
- Use a spatula to spoon the cake batter gently and evenly over top of the nectarines in the cake pan.
- Place the cake pan onto a baking sheet and bake the cake in a preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool the cake on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
- Place a serving plate on top of the cake (in the pan) and invert the cake pan, and plate, in one smooth motion so that the nectarine slices are now on top.
- Gently remove the cake pan from the cake and allow the cake to cool completely.
- Slice, serve and enjoy!
