This is a wonderful cake which is not too sweet, rich in fruit and nourishing. It is the favorite cake of our oldest son Thomas. You can substitute any fresh fruit. Growing up in Switzerland this dish was cooked almost every Friday. First course was the same dish prepared with veggies; kind of a quiche really and the second course was the sweet version.
Crust:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons oil
1/3 cup water
Topping:
2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds, or ground hazel nuts or ground almonds ( optional )
