Easy nectarine butter cake
"I always bake this quick and easy cake when I have a surprise visitor, a picnic or a visit from my mom because she loves it just as much as I do. Usually it doesn't contain any fruit at all (in that case, use a total of 150 g sugar in the icing) and is already wonderfully fluffy and caramel-like. However, depending on the season, peaches, blueberries, apples or pears can also be used in the same quantity. Instead of sour cream, you can also use crème fraîche or even mascarpone. If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk so that it can be spread easily on the baking sheet."

Nutrition per serving
Step 1/4
- 37½ g flour
- 7½ g sugar
- 1¾ g baking powder
- 25 g sour cream
- 10 ml milk
- ⅜ eggs
- ⅜ nectarines
- oven
- large bowl
- whisk
- cutting board
- knife
Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F top/bottom heat. Mix the flour, ⅓ of the sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the sour cream, most of the milk and eggs and mix well with a whisk. Halve, core and dice the nectarines, approx. 1.5 cm in size.
Step 2/4
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
Spread the batter evenly with a spoon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the batter on the middle shelf for 5 minutes. Then remove from the oven, spread the nectarine cubes evenly on top, press in lightly, and bake for another 5 min.
Step 3/4
- 18¾ g butter
- 15 g sugar
- 1⅛ g vanilla sugar
- ⅜ tbsp milk
- ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
- saucepan (small)
In the meantime, stir together the icing. Put the butter, remaining sugar, vanilla sugar, remaining milk, and cinnamon in a small saucepan, and heat over medium-low heat. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Step 4/4
- 25 g sliced almonds
Pour the topping mixture onto the pre-baked cake and sprinkle with the sliced almonds. Bake for 10 min. or until a golden brown crust forms. Leave to cool, then cut into the desired size.
Enjoy your meal!
