Chocolate-nectarine cake
Cooking time: 35-50 min | Serves 4-6 | Served with baked banana and vanilla ice cream
Instructions
1. Set the oven to 175°C/350°F/gas mark 4 (no fan) and line a round, low-edged cake tin (ø 22-26 cm/ø 9-10'') with baking paper.
2. Rinse and halve the nectarines, cut the pitted fruit into chunks and place the bits in the cake tin.
3. Mix the baking powder with the almond flour, add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Pour the mixture evenly on top of the nectarines.
5. Bake in the lower part of the oven for 25-40 minutes depending on whether you prefer a runnier mud cake (eaten warm) or a cooled, set cake cut into segments. (Use more almond flour for a firmer cake).
6. Serve with e.g. baked banana and vanilla ice cream and garnish with sprinkled cocoa powder.
