Nectarine Coffee Cake Recipe

Servings 8 servings
Author Brandon Matzek

Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 white nectarines (1 1/4 pounds), peeled, pitted and sliced (any stone fruit would work here)

For the crumb:

  • 5 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond meal, ground almonds
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

Instructions

  • Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan and set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F, and set a rack in the middle position.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Beat in eggs 1 at a time until incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed. Beat in the Greek yogurt followed by the vanilla. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, and mix on low just until incorporated. Scrape the batter into the prepared springform pan, and spread out to an even layer. Top with an even layer of sliced nectarines.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the butter, flour, almond meal, sugar and sea salt, and using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients. The mixture should be uniformly moist with a good mix of small crumbs and bits of butter. Evenly top the nectarines with the crumbs.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick (or skewer) inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown (55 to 1 hour and 5 minutes). Start testing around 50 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for 30 minutes in the pan, then remove the ring, and let cool completely before enjoying with your favorite Green Mountain Coffee® brew.
