Spread mixture into pan. Bake 40 minutes. Stand cake 5 minutes; turn, top-side up, onto wire rack to cool.
Combine sifted icing sugar and juice in small bowl; spread over cake, sprinkle with coconut.

Test Kitchen tip
Key to a successful one-bowl cake
When making any cake by the quick-mix, one-bowl method, you should start by having the butter, eggs and milk at room temperature, as these will combine better.
