Peach Tart

I wasn’t quite sure, if I really could call this peach cake a “tart”. If we turn once more to Wikipedia: “A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base with an open top not covered with pastry. The pastry is usually shortcrust pastry”. The German Wikipedia article even calls the dough “a shortcrust pastry, usually without added salt or sugar, thus neutral to the taste”. Well, my cake is neither tasteless nor a shortcrust pastry. Instead we’ve got peaches on a lemony-vanilla yeast dough with oat crumbs. But at least I am baking the cake “in special shallow baking pans with a ribbed surface”. I think that’s enough to now present you a “tart”-recipe.
