Preparation of the cake base

Preheat the oven up to 180°C.
Mix all dry ingredients.
Add the oil and mix, so that you get a crumbly mixture (“Streusel”).
Now pour in the water and knead the mass into a sticky dough.
Grease the springform pan or line it with baking paper. Use your hands to press the dough into the corners, creating a thing edge and a flat cake base.
Use a fork to pierce several holes in the bottom of the dough so that the remaining air can escape and there is no air hole underneath after baking.
Bake the cake base for 15 min. The dough should have the consistency of a freshly baked biscuit.

Preparation of the cake filling

Bring the ground almonds, sugar, corn starch, mint, lemon peel, Kala Namak salt, sodium/natron and soy drink to boil over by low heat, stirring constantly like a pudding.
After the boing for the first time, add apple vinegar and continue boiling.
Spread the finished pudding-like mixture evenly over the baked pastry base.
Peel the kiwis, cut into slices of equal thickness and spread over the whole cake.
Leave the cake in the fridge for 2 hours to set. Serve cold.
