Delicious! Similar to a pound cake but lighter because there is less butter. I used finely chopped almonds for the nuts and had to sub lemon juice for the vinegar but other than that followed the recipe exactly. The combo of the fresh cherries, coconut and almond is very yummy. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting.
