- Grease and flour a ring tin.
- Spoon in mixture, sprinkle with coconut.

- Toast the macadamia nuts before using them. Toasting the macadamia nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
