chocolate glaze available in Germany. The glaze from the Rehruecken recipe should work just fine, or any glaze recipe that produces a hard (not creamy) chocolate frosting. K.B.] flaked coconut for garnish Wash and dry zucchini, and trim off ends. Finely grate the unpeeled vegetables. Spread on a clean dish towel and pat dry. Beat sugar and yolks until creamy and sugar is dissolved. Add lemon juice, lemon peel, salt, rum, flaked coconut, and mix well. Cut the candied cherries in half, or chop into smaller pieces, as desired. Add to mixture. Mix flour and baking powder and add it as well as the grated zucchini.
