Plum Yogurt Torte with Cinnamon
Crunchy sesame seeds provide an extra portion of calcium and magnesium in this light sponge cake. The plums are said to help with metabolic diseases, liver and gall bladder ailments.
You can also make this cake with another type of plum, for example mirabelle plums. If you want to do without the Christmassy aroma in the compote, simply leave out the appropriate spices.

Preparation steps
Separate eggs. Beat whites and salt in a pitcher with a hand mixer until stiff. While mixing, gradually sprinkle in approximately 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in egg yolks.

Meanwhile rinse plums, halve, remove pits and cut into slices.
Place half of the plums in a pot with honey, star anise, cinnamon stick, and 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes. Add remaining plums and return to a boil.
Soak gelatin in cold water, squeeze and stir into warm compote until gelatin dissolves (do not boil!). Remove cinnamon stick and star anise. Transfer compote to a bowl to cool.
Mix about 2/3 of cooled compote with yogurt until smooth. Squeeze half a lemon, stir juice with yogurt compote mixture and season to taste with sweetener.
Remove torte crust from pan and spread yogurt cream on top.
Spread remaining compote on top of torte and pull with a fork to create a marbled pattern. Chill torte for at least 2 hours.
Boil remaining sugar in a pan to lightly caramelize and stir in sesame seeds.
