For a richer flavor, consider using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. To toast the coconut, spread it in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. If you don't have dried cherries, you can substitute other dried fruits like cranberries or raisins. A glaze made with powdered sugar and rum extract adds a lovely finishing touch.
