Skillet Nectarine Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect cooking: For a gas grill, turn off one or two of the center burners. On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to the sides, leaving the center open. Grill the nectarines: Toss the nectarines with the melted butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Grill over direct heat until well marked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a bowl.
• Cover the grill and reduce the heat to medium or medium low (the temperature should be 350˚ F to 400˚ F). Prepare the cake: Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.

Beat in the egg and almond extract until well combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the buttermilk.
• Spread the batter in the prepared skillet. Arrange the nectarines on top, cut-side up. Place the skillet over indirect heat, cover the grill and cook, rotating the skillet halfway through, until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool slightly.

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.

Steps:

• 1. Set a strainer over a bowl and cut the nectarines into the strainer, so their juice collects in the bowl.
• 2. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When it is hot but not smoking, add the nectarines and sauté them until they sizzle and their juices reduce and begin to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over them and sauté until the juices further thicken and the sugar caramelizes slightly, about 1 minute. You may want to increase the heat under the pan to medium-high. Add the lemon juice and sauté until the juices thicken, then add any nectarine juice that collected in the bowl, and shake the pan so that all is well blended. Let the nectarines cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the juices are very thick, which will take a minute or so. The total cooking time will be about 6 minutes.
• 3. Transfer the nectarines to 4 warmed dessert plates, or to a warmed serving dish, let sit for about 4 minutes so they are not blistering hot when served.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the stovetop.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 13- by 9- by 2-inch metal baking pan, knocking out excess flour.

Spread batter in pan, smoothing top.
• Cut nectarines lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices and toss with lemon juice and remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar in a bowl. Arrange slices, overlapping slightly, in 4 crosswise rows over batter. Cover surface of cake with a piece of buttered wax paper (paper helps fruit glaze itself) and bake in middle of oven 15 minutes. Remove paper and bake until a tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes more.
• While cake is still warm, dust generously with confectioners sugar, then cool completely on a rack.
