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.
