Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish. In large bowl, combine all cake ingredients at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Pour into greased dish. Bake at 350°F. for 25 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
While cake is baking, in large bowl, combine all sauce ingredients; blend well. Remove cake from oven; cool 5 minutes. Using long-tined fork, pierce hot cake in pan every 1 to 2 inches. Slowly pour sauce mixture over cake. Do not cover cake; refrigerate at least 3 hours to chill. (Cake will absorb most of sauce mixture.)
Before serving, in small bowl, beat 1 cup whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Spread over cold cake. Sprinkle with coconut and macadamia nuts. Store in refrigerator.
*TIP: To toast coconut, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350°F. for 7 to 8 minutes or until light golden' brown, stirring occasionally. Or spread in thin layer in microwave-safe pie pan. Microwave on LOW for 4 1/2 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown, tossing with fork after each minute.
