This arrived in my e-mail this morning.
Nectarine Cake
4 to 5 nectarines
1 cup water
6 eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2-1/3 cups ground almonds
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
Preheat oven to 375 Degrees F.
Place the nectarines in a casserole dish with 1 cup water, and roast for 30 minutes. Remove, let cool, and discard pits and stems.
Puree the nectarines and their skins in a food processor until smooth.
Butter and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper (you can also use a muffin tin or a mini cheesecake pan).
Beat the eggs; then add the sugar, almonds, and baking powder. Stir to combine and add the pureed nectarines.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cake as it cooks, it may need to be covered with foil to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let it cool, in the pan on a rack. When the cake is cold, you can take it out of the pan and it is ready to serve.
Serves 6--8
This sounds so good and thought I would post it, love the idea of roasting the nectarines. If anyone tries this please report back. Thanks.
