Got all my ingredients ready while the baby was sleeping, so I could leap into action when she went down for her nap.

Recipe

1. Use a mixer to combine all of the dough ingredients until smooth.
2. Grease the sides of the springform pan, then place parchment on the base, then latch the outer ring over the parchment.
3. Pour the batter into the pan.
4. Wash, pit, and slice the fruit, then spread across the dough.
5. Use a fork or food processer to blend together the streusel ingredients to form a crumbly topping.
6. Sprinkle the streusel over the fruit.
7. Place the pan in the oven and bake.

Review

Overall the finished result was delicious, but it did not match up with images I googled. Usually it is made with apricots, but I find the apricots in MN to be utterly tasteless, so I used frozen cherries. I would like to know if this could be made with frozen or canned apricots. My sponge wound up rather dense, which I think may be due to the ground almonds--I possibly should have ground them finer. The topping did not wind up like struedel at all, and I'm not sure why. I think I may have blended it too thoroughly. I should definitely attempt this one again to get it right!
