Description
A classic, fruit-forward dessert featuring juicy nectarines with a tender, cake-like topping, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh nectarines, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine sliced nectarines with 1/2 cup of sugar and lemon juice in a mixing bowl.
- Pour the nectarines into a greased baking dish.
- Mix together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
- Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the batter over the nectarines.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes
Use ripe but firm nectarines for best texture. For a less sweet filling, reduce the sugar with the fruit. For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
