Crack open a coconut and scoop out 1 cup of coconut meat, saving the coconut water.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 egg, mixing well.

Add 2 teaspoons of essence to the mixture.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and nutmeg to taste.

Add the room temperature butter to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Pour the coconut water into the dry mixture and mix until combined, adding additional water if the mixture is too dry.

Fold in the mixed dried fruits, including cherries and raisins, ensuring an even distribution.

Grease a baking pan and pour the mixture into it, smoothing the top.

Add additional fruits on top if desired, and sprinkle with sugar.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes before baking.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, checking every 10 minutes for doneness by inserting a fork or skewer until it comes out clean.

Once baked, run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert onto a plate to remove.
