Nectarine Upside Down Cake

Serves: 10
Cook Time: 40 Minutes

Ingredients

• 6 slices Smithfield Naturally Hickory Smoked Bacon, fried crisp and drained (crumble and mince)
• 1/4 cup butter and 2 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 2 cups peeled and sliced fresh nectarines
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 4 eggs, separated
• 1 teaspoon imitation vanilla flavoring
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup sifted cake flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Melt the 1/4 cup butter in a 10-inch skillet; remove from heat. Stir in brown sugar until combined; spread evenly in skillet. Arrange nectarines atop brown sugar mixture; sprinkle with chopped pecans and minced bacon.

In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and vanilla with an electric mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.

In a small bowl, combine egg yolks and the 2 tablespoons melted butter; stir into egg white mixture.

Sift together flour and baking powder. Sprinkle about one-fourth of the flour mixture at a time over the beaten egg mixture; gently stir in by hand. Carefully spread batter atop nectarines.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center of cake comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges of cake; carefully invert skillet and cake onto serving platter. Lift off skillet. Cool cake about 30 minutes more.
