I made this duirng my recent vacation as there was an abundance of Nectarines in Victoria Market and they were going cheap. Nectarines can be pretty expensive in Malaysia and I took the opportunity to bake this for tea. This cake tasted best served warm, soft and moist with a crunchy crust coupled with a slightly tangy taste of lemon.
