• 2. Remove from stove and with a wooden spoon, slowly stir in sifted flour. Continue stirring until mixture is perfectly smooth and lump free.
• 3. Then, break eggs, one at a time, beating them thoroughly into the batter in the pot.
• 4. Lastly, add raisins, minced cherries, and rum. Blend everything well.
