Method

Whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale and thick. Sift the flour, add the baking powder, beaten eggs, rum and softened butter, and then mix to obtain a pliable dough. Allow the dough to rest.
Divide the dough into two pieces and roll out two identical rounds. Spread the pastry cream (which you can flavour with rum) or the black cherry jam on one of them. Cove
