Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 nectarines, sliced into 1 1/2-inch thick wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
  • In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, 4 tablespoons butter and eggs. 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.
  • Place into oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake and turn upside down onto a serving plate.
  • Serve warm.
