Ingredients

  • 10 Tbsp salted butter, softened and divided
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 medium nectarines, cut into thin slices
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Place 4 tablespoons butter in a 9-inch round cake pan, and melt in the oven. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over butter.
  • Arrange the nectarines in an even layer in pan.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together flours, baking powder and baking soda. In a bowl attached to a stand mixer, beat 6 tablespoons butter on high until light and fluffy. Add the white sugar and beat until well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. With mixer on low, add flour mixture, alternating with the yogurt, and beat to combine.
  • With a spatula, spread the batter over nectarines. Bake until cake is dark golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack, for 15 minutes. Run a knife around edge of pan and invert cake onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
