3.Spread mixture into pan. Bake cake about 1½ hours. Stand cake in pan 5 minutes before turning, top-side up, onto wire rack to cool.

4.To make lemon curd frosting, chop butter into a small heavy-based saucepan. Lightly beat eggs and strain into pan. Add rind, juice and sugar. Stir over low heat about 10 minutes or until mixture thickly coats the back of a wooden spoon. Strain curd, cover surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours until cold. Beat cream cheese in a small bowl with electric mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in 1 cup lemon curd. Reserve remaining curd for top of cake.

5.Split cake into three layers. Place one layer on serving plate and spread with one-third of the frosting, repeat layering; top cake with frosting. Pour reserved curd over top of cake and sprinkle with coconut.
