1

{"0":"Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 9-inch-diameter springform pan. (I used a 10-inch springform with fantastic results.)","2":"Using electric mixer, beat 1\/2 cup butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add 2\/3 cup sugar and beat until blended. Beat in eggs one at a time, then lemon juice and lemon peel. Beat in flour until smooth. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.","4":"Arrange enough nectarine slices atop batter in concentric circles to cover completely, pressing lightly to adhere.","6":"Mix cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar together. Sprinkle over cake.","8":"Bake until cake is golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour (50 minutes for plums, 80 minutes for peaches). Cut around cake to loosen; remove pan sides. Serve cake slightly warm or at room temperature.","10":"Makes 8 servings"}
