Nectarine sponge cake with blueberries is a summer delight! So quick and easy to make, it's perfect with a nice cup of tea or coffee. Make morning or afternoon tea a treat.
1 Preheat oven to 170°C. Lightly grease a 22cm round tin or a ring mould. Purée 1 nectarine. Whisk eggs and sugar together, using electric beaters, with the vanilla paste for about 6 minutes until tripled in size and stiff (ie. mixture can stand upright and hold its own shape).
2 Gently fold in flour with lemon zest, nectarine purée and half the blueberries. Do not overmix. Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool slightly before turning out.
3 To make icing, mix icing sugar, vanilla paste and lemon juice together. Add water if necessary to make a thin icing then drizzle over sponge. Top with sliced nectarines and remaining berries. Drizzle over maple syrup and decorate with mint.
You can vary the fruits you use to top this sponge.
This sponge is best eaten on the day it is baked.
