Ingredients
- 3 large nectarines, thinly sliced
- 50g flaked almonds

- 250ml double cream
- 4 tbsp rum or brandy
You’ll also need…
- 1.25 litre ovenproof dish, around 6cm deep
Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Put half the nectarines and half the flaked almonds in the baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the ground almonds, plain flour and caster sugar with a pinch of salt. Using a balloon whisk, slowly whisk in the eggs and yolks, stirring in the dry ingredients gradually to avoid making the mixture lumpy. Once the mixture has the consistency of a thick paste, stir in the double cream and alcohol to make a smooth batter. Pour it over the fruit and nuts in the dish, then lightly lay the remaining fruit on top and scatter over the remaining flaked almonds.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until there’s only the barest wobble in the middle when you shake the dish. Remove from the oven, leave for 20 minutes, then serve with cream or crème fraîche.
