I have always been in love with this Nectarine Coffee Cake. I suppose it all begins with my love for nectarines in general. If you get so lucky to pick them up at their peak of ripeness- perfectly sweet and just a little give under firm, then they’re so perfect to eat and enjoy. Summer is the best time to find perfect, ripe nectarines. You don’t even have to peel the nectarines when you make this cake! I have a nectarine for snacking most days of the week in the summer months. And I love adding nectarines to salads, oatmeal, and recipes like this cake.
You can certainly see the appeal here. A lemon- scented coffee cake is packed full of fresh nectarine slices. It’s wonderful! Coffee cake is kind of a loose term. I’d say this Nectarine Coffee Cake is good for breakfast, brunch, dessert or snacking. Heck, I might even eat a slice with a glass of rosé and call it dinner if no one else is looking!
Grab some beautiful nectarines before they disappear with the cooler months, and bake this Nectarine Coffee Cake. You’ll be glad you did! If you’re looking for a few more recipes using nectarines, you might also enjoy my Grilled Salmon with Nectarine Onion Relish or this Sunset Sangria. Nectarine Freezer Jam is also a delicious idea!
