Nectarine Upside-Down Cake

(0 Reviews)

A buttery brown sugar glaze over nectarines make this simple upside-down cake irresistible and a nice twist on pineapple upside-down cake.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
0.25 cup brown sugar (such as muscovado)
4 fresh nectarines, sliced into bite-size pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.75 teaspoon salt
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
0.5 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps

Step1

Preheat oven to 340 degrees F (170 degrees C). Place butter in a 9-inch round cake pan and melt in the oven as it preheats.

Step2

Remove pan from oven and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter. Arrange nectarine pieces on the brown sugar layer.

Step3

Gently whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Beat unsalted butter and white sugar together in a separate bowl until creamy and smooth; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat vanilla extract into the creamed butter mixture. Add flour mixture to creamed butter mixture; beat on low speed just until batter is combined, about 1 minute. Spread batter over nectarine layer.

Step4

Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Step5

Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around edge of pan and invert cake onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
