3. Beat the eggs with sugar, vanilla and lemon zest for a few minutes to obtain a frothy and light batter.
4. Add the oil and then the yogurt (I only had strawberry so I made do with that) and keep beating. Then add the flour where you have sifted the baking powder.
5. Add the diced nectarines to the batter and mix with a wooden spoon.
6. Pour the batter into the springform pan and place the nectarine slices on top.
7. Bake at 180C for 45-55 (my oven required a full hour) until the nectarines are caramelised and the toothpick or cake pick comes out clean.
8. When the cake is still warm, sprinkle 2 Tbsp of sugar on top. Let cool for 15 minutes, then move to a serving plate.
