Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, blend oil (or butter) and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla and sour cream, beat well to blend. Add flour mixture and half the rhubarb. Blend well. Lightly fold in remaining rhubarb.
Transfer half the batter into the bundt pan. Top with the chopped, drained cherries, keeping them in the centre, not touching the outside edge or the centre post of the pan. It will seem like a lot of cherries. Carefully cover with remaining cake batter.
Bake in centre of the oven for 50-55 minutes or until top of cake is golden, springs back when touched lightly and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cake to cool, then turn over to remove from pan.
Glaze: If desired, drizzle with glaze and a sprinkle of toasted coconut. Make glaze by stirring together icing sugar, coconut extract and milk of your choice. To toast coconut, place in a saucepan over medium-high heat and stir as it begins to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat to avoid excess browning.
Notes
* Make stewed rhubarb by placing 2 cups (500 mL) of chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb in a saucepan. Add 3 tbsp (45 mL) water and simmer until rhubarb softens to an applesauce consistency. Sweeten to taste with sugar or honey.
