White Chocolate, Coconut & Macadamia Cake

November 09

Let’s not make baking difficult – if you’ve got a non-stick pot or spring-form tray, smash it all together and the oven do all the hard work. This recipe is one that’s good for the soul rather than the belly! Recipe by Bondi Harvest.

  3. 3. Sift the flour into the saucepan and add the vanilla, egg, lemon zest and macadamias and mix until a smooth batter. Sprinkle over the coconut.
  4. 4. Put the saucepan in the oven and cook for 1 hour, then cover the top and sides with the foil and bake for a further 45 minutes.
