Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1 cup of the sugar for 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, then the sour cream and vanilla, and mix until the batter is smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix just until combined. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon.
- Spread half of the batter evenly in the pan. Top with half of the peaches, then sprinkle with two-thirds of the sugar mixture. Spread the remaining batter on top, arrange the remaining peaches on top, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture and the pecans.
- Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.

NECTARINE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
This simple cake is terrific on its own, but feel free to up the ante with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla-bean ice cream. Try other frozen stone fruit like peaches or plums in place of the nectarines.
