1. First, make the sponge: mix the yeast with 3 tablespoons of warmed sour cream and about the same amount of sugar, and let it ferment. Then add the remaining sugar, sour cream, eggs, flour, and melted butter to this sponge. Soak the raisins in rum, then add them to the dough as well.

3. Now place the dough into the molds, making sure each mold gets no more than one-third of the dough. Let it rest for another half hour, allowing it to rise, and only then start baking. I bake for about 20 minutes at 175 degrees.
