This week for Baking with Julia, the challenge recipe was Nectarine Upside-Down Chiffon Cake, hosted by Marlise of The Double Trouble Kitchen and Susan of The Little French Bakery.
This is the fourth recipe that I have been called on to make in the last month or so requiring nectarines - but it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere, so no nectarines here guys. Once again, I used canned peaches in place of the nectarines.
The highlight of this cake was the streusel, which is placed in the middle of the cake and doesn't get a guernsey in the title of the cake:
Just look at that heavenly, crunchy, spicy ribbon! The rest of the cake was good, but man, the streusel lifted it into the extraordinary. I reckon that this cake would be terrific served warm with icecream.

That is so pretty! I bet the peaches were wonderful with the cake and streusel combination. Nice job...you have me convinced that I should really make this...what's not to love about streusel in cake?
I think you are doing a great job at keeping up with all these summer recipes - looks like a delicious cake and rather impressive presentation! And now the sun is coming out I hope those summer recipes don't start to dry up in your events
I love upside down cakes, they always look so fancy! This one sounds wonderful.
Wowo it is almost coffee time now wish i had a slice
I am sure a warm slice with a healthy scoop of ice cream would be a hit.
You almost make me wish I had added the streusel - it looks good!

The streusel should definitely get a mention in the title imho. That's what makes me gravitate towards a recipe! :P

Yum - there is something about an upside down cake that is so pretty - I think it's the nice level top with shiny fruit!
This looks delicious. This fits into our type of cake.
