Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend. We had a lovely time as the weather was sunny and dry and we were able to do some fun activities outdoors. We also met up with some “old” friends and I made this summery Nectarine and Blueberry Upside Down Cake for our gathering.

Peaches and nectarines are in season right now but there are still lots of berries around. I really like the idea of combining nectarines and blueberries in a dish as they are not only delicious together but the color contrast is so striking. Instead of mixing the fruits together, I arrange the fruits at the bottom of the pan and made an upside down cake. The juicy fruits and addition of sour cream made the cake very moist. Spelt flour provided a tender crumb.

    Thanks Stella! Spelt flour is a little softer and breads and cakes made with them seem to have a more tender crumb. You can substitute AP flour with spelt on a 1:1 ratio. I think you will really like it. Just so you know, there are two types of spelt flour, white and whole just like wheat.

    I am glad you had a chance to try out the rice bread. I may make another gluten free loaf of something when I get the chance 🙂

    Beautiful! I made a similar cake where I used mango slices instead of nectarines! I love how it looks like a sunflower 🙂

    Hi Biren,

    I love the colour of this cake. You're right, the nectarine and blueberry do give a nice contrasting colour. Not only is this a beautiful cake but it sounds delicious with those two combinations, and looks so moist. Fabulous job!

    Biren, this is so pretty, and it's still summer. So one last summer cake is wonderful (smile). You know, my Mom brought me some organic spelt flour from Atlanta along with a whole bunch of other things I've never worked with thus far. I didn't know exactly what to do with the spelt, but now I do. Yes!
    Btw, I made a version of your bread this last weekend. It was good. Not as pretty as yours, but really good. I'm going to try again for a pretty loaf…

    This recipe brings back happy memories. My mother used to make upside down cakes all the time. Her favorite was pineapple. 🙂

    I've combined peaches with blueberries before but never nectarines! This cake looks fantastic. Gorgeous presentation.

    Biren, this looks so very good. I love the fruit combo and am now anxious to give it a try.
    The quinoa recipe is packed with complimentary flavors, by the way. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary

    How lovely. I have never been able to bake and I'm afraid to try again. You make this look so easy. I follow all of the instructions, but the end is not what I expect. If you keep making good food and recipies, I'm going to have to try again.

    Hey Biren, I just came back to look at this again. I could be blind and am sometimes;), but I don't see a measurement for sugar in the recipe list?! I've made something like this with a.p. flour before (i'm using spelt this time), so I'll go with my own sweetening senses. I just wanted to let you know though…
    Hope your'e having a good day, Biren. Stella

    Biren, what an interesting combination and I bet it tastes good too. I recently had the opportunity to try an upside down apple cake (sprinkled with brown sugar) and it was delicious. My only other encounter was the classic upside down pineapple cake. All very nice, I must say"

    Nectarines aren't as easily available as peaches over here so I like to combine peaches and blueberries. I love how the blueberries bleed into whatever they are baked or cooked with. I'm sure your cake tasted wonderful, good as it looks.
