Ever have too many nectarines?

Our Costco had beautiful nectarines last weekend. Bought a flat and we ate nectarines every day! Finally, four left. Went to Chef Google and this is what I made:

Nectarine Upside Down Cake

yield: 8 SERVINGS
prep: 15 MINUTES MINUTES
cook: 1 HOUR total

A vibrant cake with fresh nectarines drenched in sweet, buttery goodness!

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar (I used 3/4 cup)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and divided
2 large eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
4 nectarines, sliced into 1 1/2-inch thick wedges

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.

In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, 4 tablespoons butter and eggs. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.

Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter to the bottom of a cast iron skillet or 9-inch cake pan, swirling the pan until the bottom and sides are well coated. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the melted butter. Arrange nectarine slices on top in a single layer. Scoop the batter evenly over the nectarines, smoothing out the top.

Place into oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake and turn upside down onto a serving plate.

Serve immediately.

The cake batter is not too sweet. Reminds me of my Grandmothers pineapple upside down cake.

My five grandkids arrived like hungry wolves. Had to beat them off so I could have a tiny slice.🤣

The ummms, yummy and I love you made up for it. My hubby was like “what just happened?” 😉
