Cornmeal Loaf Cake With Nectarines Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Dust with sugar and flour, and tap out excess; set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar; beat until light and fluffy.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and lemon juice.
• With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture to butter mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the buttermilk mixture. Beat until just combined, scraping bowl as needed. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until center is springy to the touch, about 55 minutes; drape with foil if cake browns too quickly. Let cool 10 minutes in pan; invert cake onto a wire rack. Reinvert and let cool completely.
• In a skillet, stir together nectarines and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; add 2 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring, until fruit is soft and liquid syrupy, about 5 minutes. Let cool before serving with the cake.
