Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 10-inch bundt pan (or use non-stick cooking spray).
  2. In a small bowl, beat 2 egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the brown sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold in coconut and 1/2 cup pecans.
  3. Spread the meringue on the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, to within 1 inch of the top of the pan.
  4. In a large bowl, blend the cake mix, sour cream, 1/2 cup amaretto, 1/2 cup water, eggs and 2 egg yolks. Beat at low speed until moistened; beat at high speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan with meringue.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then loosen sides and invert onto a serving plate. Cool completely.
  6. In a small bowl, blend confectioners sugar, cocoa, 2 tablespoons amaretto, butter, corn syrup, and 2 teaspoons water. If the glaze is too stiff, up to 2 more teaspoons of water may be added.
  7. Spoon the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing some to run down the sides. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons ground pecans and garnish with cherries.
