Nectarine Syrup Cake
Method
- Sift together the dry ingredients
- Beat together butter, sugar & vanilla
- Whisk eggs and add in buttermilk
- Add dry ingredients in 4 parts & wet ingredients in 3 parts alternatively into butter mixture (so last addition should be dry ingredients)
- Pour batter into pan or cake tin and bake at 180’C for 20mins
- Leave in pan to cool for 10mins before pouring the Nectarine Sauce over the top of the cake
- Chop Nectarines and cook in a pan with honey over a medium heat until cooked – only stir occasionally so as to keep some chunks of fruit, the skins will help create a beautiful colour to the sauce
- Cook until the liquid starts to thicken slightly
- Set aside, this is added to the top of the cake while still warm but you don’t want this sauce to be hot as it will make the cake soggy
