    Ingredients

    • 2 doz cherries
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
    • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
    • ⅓ cup milk (whole or skim)
    • 1 egg (large)
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ cup vegetable oil, (corn, soy or peanut)
    • ¼ cup of dark honey
    • ¼ cup golden rum
    • 2 tablespoons powdered white sugar, (caster)

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 300 ºF [150 ºC).
    • Pit and halve 18 cherries. Reserve.
    • Place the brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Add ginger, flour, oil, milk, egg and baking powder. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
    • Add the halved cherries and mix with a spatula. Pour into silicone baking molds like these (affiliate link) cake or small heart-shaped cake molds.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until you insert a skewer or knife in the middle and it comes out clean.
    • Mix the rum and honey and pour over the cakes. Let them rest for an hour. Garnish with the remaining cherries and sprinkle with the powdered sugar.

    Tips and Notes

    If you don't have, or don't care for cherries, you can use blond raisins instead. I also found that pineapple work wonderfully here too. You will need about a cup of pineapple cut into small cubes.

    Hey Clara! I was just trying this recipe. Got to number 5 in the instructions and had a problem.

    I had dough, not batter.

    I've double checked to make sure I had the right quantities as you've listed. Is one of them incorrect by any change? maybe the milk quantity?
