Ingredients
Cake:
- 150 g all-purpose flour 5.3 oz/ 1 ¼ cups
- 100 g unsalted butter 3.5 oz/ ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon
- 100 g granulated sugar 3.5 oz/ ½ cup
- a pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon dry breadcrumbs
- 650 g nectarines or peaches, 23 oz
Topping:
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- icing sugar
Instructions
Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/ 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking dish of approximately 8x13 inches/21x32 cm with baking paper.
- Dough: Place the flour, butter, sugar, salt, and egg in the food processor. Mix shortly until the dough comes together. The dough is pretty soft, but if you think it is way too sticky add an extra tablespoon flour.
- Bake dough: Place the dough in small heaps into the prepared baking dish. Press the dough evenly in the dish with your fingers (you can flour the fingers a bit first) or a floured spoon. Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly golden but not quite done yet.
- Prepare the fruit in the meantime. Stone the nectarines or peaches and quarter them. If they are very large, cut them into eights.
- Take the cake out of the oven, sprinkle it evenly with the breadcrumbs and arrange the nectarine slices on top. Place back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.

Topping:
- Mix topping: In the meantime separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Beat the egg yolks with the 3 tablespoons sugar. Add the flour to the egg yolk mixture and incorporate. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
- Bake topping: Pour this mixture over the cake and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until golden brown and baked through.
- Dust with icing sugar before serving.
