Coconut Macadamia Nut Bar

For the crust:
1 cup All-purpose flour
1/3 cup Dark Brown Sugar, packed
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces

For the topping:
2 large eggs
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup sweetened grated coconut
1 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
Confectioners sugar

Crust:
In a food processor, blend flour, sugar and butter until the mixture resembles meal. Press the mixture into a 8x8 inch pan, bake in the middle of a pre-heated 350F oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Topping:
In a bowl beat together eggs with the sugar until the mixture is thick and pale. Beat in the vanilla. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, then fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in the coconut, macadamia nuts and lemon juice. Spoon the mixture over the crust (after it's cooled at least a few minutes) and bake at 350F for 25 minutes, or until browned. Let the confection cool in the pan on a rack, then cut into 2x1 inch bars and remove carefully from the pan. Sprinkle the bars with confectioners sugar.
