Summer Fruit Upside-Down Cornmeal Cake
The wooden pick test isn't accurate for this cake since the fruit makes it appear wet when it's really done. Look for the cake to brown slightly as your best visual cue for doneness. Serve warm with low-fat vanilla ice cream.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl; toss gently. Coat a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Brush pan with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle pan evenly with 1 tablespoon sugar. Pour nectarine mixture into pan in an even layer; set aside.
Step 3
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
Step 4
Combine remaining 1 cup sugar and 5 tablespoons softened butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat just until combined.
Step 5
Spoon batter evenly over fruit mixture. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until cake is set and light brown. Cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes. Place a plate upside down on top of cake pan; invert cake onto plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I love desserts that incorporate fruit. I saw this in the cooking light cookbook for 2008. I loved the thought of adding cornmeal. The result was the presentation was outstanding and the taste was heavenly. Between 2 adults and 2 children there was nothing left within 10 minutes of serving it!!! It is a KEEPER and a great dessert to impress guests!!!!
