NECTARINE- STRAWBERRY YOGURT CAKE

Here we are in July, but I'm thinking about a pudding-like cake that I always want for Christmas:)

A year is very long to count but days fly so fast without even realizing that we’re in the middle of the year. Tomorrow, those sweet and beautiful cherries, wild blueberries, peaches, nectarine, plums and maybe you can help me name the rest of it are gone. That is why  I take every chance to utilize all of these fruits especially when they're at their peak season. Cook them as a part of a meal or turn them into something decadent that leaves your senses happy and content. What I like about stone fruits like apricot, dates, plums, peaches, and nectarines is their versatility.  Wherein, aside from eating it whole on its own, it can be prepared in different ways that complement meat, fish, or seafood. It helps bring out the brightness and adds flavor to any dish, or if you’re like me who always wants a sweet treat at the end of the day - I think that's why I never have a nightmare, always going to bed with all smile to my ears☺️.

Baking cake with fresh fruits provides a nice contrast in taste, texture, and fragrance that you wouldn’t even need a frosting as there are few things more exquisite in their simplicity. As it bakes, the glorious juices ooze out so willingly as it adorns the top of the cake making it utterly beautiful and when it's ready, it tastes of some kind of a miracle that is delicious with a light floral fragrance.

NECTARINE- STRAWBERRY YOGURT CAKE

This moist and not too sweet pudding like cake is very easy to make yet delicious. It is best served warm or the day it’s made but I enjoyed it the next day with my breakfast and a cup of coffee.
