NECTARINE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 °F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
• Make the cake batter. Add the butter to a large glass mixing bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until melted. Whisk in the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Once smooth, whisk in the sugar.
• Switch to a rubber spatula and fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until combined.
• Layer the nectarines and batter. Arrange the sliced nectarines along the bottom of the springform pan. Pour the batter over top of the sliced fruit and smooth the top with the rubber spatula.
• Bake the cake. Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cake to cool for 5-10 minutes, then remove the sides of the springform pan and invert onto a wire cooling rack. Carefully lift the bottom of the pan off the top of the cake, sliding a long knife along the pan bottom to loosen any fruit that may have stuck.

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.

NECTARINE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fand coat a 9-inch-square cake pan with cooking spray. Combine 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon fine salt and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand. Cook over medium-high heat, gently swirling the pan occasionally but not stirring, until light amber, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately pour into the prepared cake pan (the caramel hardens quickly). Arrange the nectarines over the caramel in 4 rows; set the pan aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon fine salt in a bowl. Beat the butter and the remaining 1 cup sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour, and mix until just incorporated. Pour the batter over the nectarines and spread evenly.
• Transfer to the oven and bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil if the cake is browning too quickly.) Let sit 15 minutes, then invert onto a platter and let cool completely. Sprinkle with sea salt.

NECTARINE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Transfer to 9" round cake pan and spread evenly. Arrange nectarine slices over top in concentric circles in pan. If using large nectarines, you will only need 2 nectarines and will make two overlapping circles. If using smaller nectarines, you may need 3 nectarines and have more circles.
• Beat butter until creamy. Add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add egg substitute or eggs and beat until blended. If using egg substitute, the mixture may look slightly curdled. Stir in milk and vanilla, blending well. Stir together dry ingredients; add to batter and mix on low speed just until blended. Batter is not very thick.
• Spread batter evenly over nectarines. Bake cake until wooden pick tests clean, about 30-35 minutes. Let cool on wire rack 10 minutes, then invert onto serving platter. Cut into wedges to serve.
