Stir in chopped cherries and raisins until evenly distributed.

In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla essence, and almond essence.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
