Preheat the oven to 180oc (350oF/Gas 4). Grease a 23cm round deep cake tin. Line the base and side with two sheets of baking paper, cutting it to sit 2-3cm above the side of the tin. Sift the flour and cinnamon into a large bowl, add the sugar and coconut and stir to combine. Add the eggs, pineapple and oil and mix well. Stir in the macadamia nuts. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the cake- cover with foil if it browns too much. Leave in the tin for 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
beat the cream cheese and butter in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and icing sugar and beat until smooth. Spread over the cooled cake.
