RASPBERRY CREPE CAKE WITH NECTARINES AND CREAM

Steps:

• Crepes: Puree raspberries in a food processor until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids to remove as much liquid as possible (you should have 1 cup).
• Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together eggs, 2 cups milk, and vanilla in another bowl. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture; whisk to combine. Whisk in melted butter and raspberry puree. Pass mixture through sieve, then refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours. Batter should have consistency of thick heavy cream; if needed, whisk in more milk to thin.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush very lightly with butter. Pour in 1/3 cup batter while turning and tilting skillet quickly to coat bottom evenly. Cook until edges of crepe are golden and top is dry, about 1 minute, 30 seconds. Run a spatula around edge to loosen, then flip over. Cook until bottom is firm and golden in spots, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining batter, brushing pan with butter, if needed, and lowering heat to medium if crepes are browning too quickly. Stack crepes with a sheet of parchment between each.
• Cream: Whisk together heavy cream, sour cream, and confectioners' sugar in a bowl just until firm peaks form.
• Assembly: Place 1 crepe on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread 3 tablespoons cream mixture on top. Arrange a scant 3/4 cup nectarine slices to cover most of crepe. Scatter some raspberries on top. Spread with 3 more tablespoons cream. Place a second crepe on top, pressing to flatten and spread cream to edges. Continue layering cream, fruit, more cream, and crêpes, using 8 crepes total and all the fruit. Spoon remaining cream on top. Sprinkle with almonds and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours and up to 8 hours. Cut into slices; serve.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH NECTARINES AND PLUMS

Steps:

• Prepare the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Adjust rack to lower third of oven. Line a 10-inch tube pan with parchment; to fit the parchment over the center tube, trace the hole, fold the paper in half and cut out a semi-circle. Do not grease pan or parchment.
• Combine flour, 1/2 cup/100 grams sugar and the salt. Sift 3 times. Set aside.
• Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer. Beat at low speed until egg whites begin to foam. Add 1 tablespoon water, the lemon juice, the cream of tartar and the vanilla and almond extracts, and beat to a soft, moist foam at medium speed, 3 to 5 minutes. Mixture should increase in volume 4- to 5-fold. Stop machine and lift beaters. The foam should hold a soft, moist shape.
• Turn beater on at medium speed and gradually add remaining 3/4 cup/150 grams sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Beat 2 to 3 minutes until mixture forms medium, moist peaks that bend over when lifted. Foam should not be stiff.
• Carefully transfer foam to a wide, 6-quart bowl. Sprinkle or sift 1/4 cup of the flour mixture over the foam. Using a wide rubber spatula, gently fold in flour until just incorporated. In 1/4-cup additions, continue to sprinkle on flour mixture and gently fold it into the foam, along with lemon zest if using. When you are done you should not see any traces of flour.
• Pour the batter into the pan, scraping the last of it out of the bowl, and spread evenly, either with a spatula or by tipping or swirling pan. Run a table knife through the batter a few times to remove large bubbles. Place in oven and bake 40 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. There may be some crumbs on the tester but they should not be moist.
• Remove from oven and invert pan immediately with tube set on a rack. Cake will not slide out of the pan. If cake has risen to edges of the pan and the pan does not have legs, balance the pan on a jar so that air can circulate underneath. Cool in the reversed pan for 1 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the fruit: Toss together fruit, honey, lemon juice and sugar in a large bowl and let macerate for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature. (May be prepared up to 4 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.)
• Remove cake from pan by running a thin knife between the cake and the sides and tube of the pan. Pull tube up from pan to remove cake, then remove from detachable bottom and peel off parchment. Place on serving plate to cool completely before serving or wrapping.
• Slice cake with a sharp, thin serrated knife, sawing gently so you don't flatten the cake. Add thyme to fruit, and then serve fruit and juices with the sliced cake. The cake alone will keep, well wrapped, for 3 days.
