Over low heat, stirring, melt butter with the light brown sugar in

crumbs. While mixture is warm, quickly press in even layer in
bottom of 9" springform pan.

sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until
well blended. Slowly add Kahlua and vodka. Pour into prepared pan,
spread level. Set pan on cookie sheet. Bake in 350°F oven on first
rack below oven center, just until barely set in center, about 25
to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Stir sour
cream to smooth it, then gently spread over top of cake to within
1/4" of outer edge. Cool, then sprinkle coconut on top. Refrigerate
(overnight is fine) until ready to serve. Remove cake 30 minutes
before serving to soften slightly. Top each serving with Kahlua
Cherry Sauce.
Kahlua Cherry Sauce:
Drain cherries, saving syrup. Mix drained cherries with Kahlua and
vodka, set aside. Mix sugar, corn starch, and salt in saucepan.
Blend in 3/4 cup cherry syrup and lemon juice. Cook, stirring,
until mixture boils, thickens and becomes clear. Add cherry
mixture. Cool.
