Nectarine Upside Down Cake

I had a few ripe nectarines so I decided to bake this yummy cake for dessert.
I followed this recipe but took a shortcut: instead of melting the butter and the brown sugar in a pan, I greased a tin with the butter and sprinkled it with the brown sugar. I then layered the nectarines on top of it and finally added the batter. It was quicker and saved me on cleaning a pan!
My one year old son loved it and had a quarter of the cake! He loves his food so much!

Blueberry cake.

I looove blueberries!!!
My favourite recipe is blueberry pancakes with lot of marple syrup on top!

But I also like this recipe with soured cream or yogurt for the healthier version. It is simply delicious! I tried with and without the cheesecake frosting and both are good, although being French I prefer the one without the frosting ;)

 


And you? What is your favourite blueberry recipe?

Plum Clafoutis.

I had four plums left along with two eggs on their own in the fridge so I decided to bake a "clafoutis", which basically means that you bake any fruits you have in batter.
So the recipe is easy to follow and is always a success with children:
  • 80g flour
  • 40g cornflour
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 glasses of milk
  • any fresh fruits left
  • a pinch of salt
  • butter
First you preheat the oven at 210C.
You mix all the dry ingredients.
You then add in the wet ones (eggs and milk).
You grease a oven proof dish with butter and add your fresh fruit.
You then pour over the batter and put the dish in the oven for 30 mins.
Finally, take the dish out of the oven, let the clafoutis cool down and enjoy!
