Nectarine Sheet Cake

Sometimes, summer can float by in a hazy pastel-colored blur of sunshine prickling on your skin, amazing news and lazy days spent lying in the warm grass. At least this was definitely how my vacation felt like. It was perfect. Including great local Island food, active beach days, Ice Cream and bee stings. Summer is for sure my favorite season. How was your summer so far? Went for a picnic already? Well than you better get going and take some pieces of this simple but great sheet cake with ya!

Cut up your nectarines into chunky pieces and set aside. Cream the butter, sugar, salt and vanilla and incorporate the eggs on by one. Mix until pale and creamy.
