Pour the cherries into a sieve and drain well. Mix fat, sugar, lemon peel and salt for about 5 minutes with the whisk of the hand mixer until creamy. Stir in the eggs one by one. Add 150 g crème fraîche and mix. Mix flour and baking powder and stir briefly into the dough. Fold in the cherries. Grease a springform pan (26 cm Ø) and sprinkle thickly with 20 g grated coconut.
Fill in the dough and smooth it down. Bake the cake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a grid and let it cool in the mould. In the meantime, roast the coconut flakes and the remaining 15 g grated coconut in a pan without fat until golden brown, remove and let cool off. Remove the cake from the pan. Mix 150 g crème fraîche, yoghurt and vanilla sugar and spread on the cake. Sprinkle coconut flakes and shavings on the cake and decorate with mint
