Spiced Plum Torte – Notes
Christmas is just around the corner, so it’s time to start thinking about festive sweet baked goods :D
Today I have something special for you – perfect for the holiday table.
I invite you to try the spiced plum torte.
Here we have a moist chocolate sponge cake baked with plum preserves and mayonnaise (I used light to “cut down” on some calories ;)), plus cinnamon cream, plums, and lots of preserves.
For this torte, I used Stovit’s Spiced Plum Preserves – I highly recommend them :D
The decoration – as befits a festive bake – is truly Christmas-like – fresh sprigs and star-shaped cookies.
In this simple way, you can conjure up a beautiful spiced plum torte.
I also recommend trying the recipe for red wine torte and other recipes prepared by me for Stovit.
P.S. Also, be sure to remember about homemade gingerbread spice – it’s the basis of many festive baked goods. It’s worth preparing it yourself at home, because it’s infinitely better than store-bought spices, which often have flour or sugar and cocoa as their main ingredients.

Chocolate Cake with Cinnamon Cream and Plums
For Christmas (and beyond), prepare a delicious chocolate cake with preserves and plums. The chocolate cake itself tastes divine. The slightly gingerbread-like cake is baked with plum preserves and mayonnaise. Mayonnaise in the cake gives it a nice moistness and ensures that the chocolate cake is not dry like a traditional chocolate sponge cake. Therefore, you don't even need to soak this cake specially - unless you really like it, then of course you can :)

See my step-by-step recipe for chocolate cake with preserves and mayonnaise and bake it for this torte. Then you just need to prepare stewed plums and a divine chocolate-cinnamon cream.
