directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine 2 tablespoons of the softened butter, the brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a small bowl. Lightly grease the sides of an 8-inch square cake pan; spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Arrange the nectarine and plum slices in alternating rows over the brown sugar mixture.

Step 2

Combine the granulated sugar and the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a chopping blade. Process until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla and proccess until combined. Add the flour mixed with the cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg; pour the milk over all. Pluse once or twice, just until the flour is moistened. The batter doesn’t have to be smooth.

Step 3

Spoon the batter evenly over the fruit in the pan and bake until the centre springs back when gently pressed, about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack in the pan for about 5 minutes, then loosen the edges and invert onto a serving plate. Cut into squares and serve warm.
