Fresh Nectarine Cake With Blackberries Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fruit slices, 1/4 cup sugar and lemon juice. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a simmer, then take the pan off the heat.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until it smells very nutty, turns golden, and flecks of dark brown appear, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the brown butter into an 8-inch-by-8-inch baking dish.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Scrape the batter on top of the brown butter, use a spatula to even out the batter but be careful not to mix it into the butter. Scatter the nectarine slices and juice on top of the batter without stirring. Sprinkle with the almonds, nutmeg and Demerara sugar. Bake until golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F with rack in middle. Lightly butter a 9 inch springform pan.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
• Beat butter and 3/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in extracts. At low speed, mix in flour mixture until just combined.
• Spread batter evenly in pan, then scatter nectarines over top. Stir together nutmeg and remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar and sprinkle over top.
• Bake until cake is golden-brown and top is firm but tender when lightly touched (cake will rise over fruit), 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove side of pan and cool to warm.

Steps:

• Mix the butter and sugar together in a food processor or large bowl until creamy.
• Add the eggs and mix well.
• Mix in the yoghurt, nuts, fruit, lemon juice and rind, flour, baking powder and cinnamon, don't overmix, just mix until ingredients are loosely combined.
• Pour into a well-greased and baking-paper lined 20cm cake pan.
• Bake at 180°C for 55-60 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack.
• Serve dusted with icing sugar, and accompanied by ice cream or softly whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Lightly oil and flour a removable bottom cake pan (e.g., angel food cake pan). Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat (or whisk) together the eggs, milk and oil. Grate the zest off the lemon (use the rest for another purpose) and add to the bowl. Mix well then add the 2/3 C sugar and the ground ginger. Beat well; stir in the flour and mix until a smooth batter is formed.
• Wash the nectarines and pat them dry. Cut the flesh of four nectarines into small pieces (1/3 to 1/2 inch). Add to batter and stir gently until the fruit is completely incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Slice the remaining necarine very thin and lay the slices on the top of the cake to cover. Sprinkle with the candied ginger and the remaining 2 T sugar.
• Bake 50 to 60 (or 70) minutes until firm and golden. Remove from oven and cool completely before serving.
