HIBISCUS NECTAR CAKE
This is my mom's favorite cake, and I have kept losing and finding the recipe over the years, so I'm posting it here for safe keeping. I should mention, though, that this is not my recipe- it comes from an October 1996 issue of Southern Living. This is a truly wonderful (albeit labor intensive) three layer cake, and I have made it on many special occasions.

HIBISCUS LEMONY CAKE
Hibiscus has a tart flavor, high in vitamin C and lowers blood pressure. And lemon to enhance the tartness and Vitamin C in this cake making it not so guilty. The hibiscus gives the cake and icing a nice flavor and color. Additional food coloring can be added for a more vibrant color. Baking in a 13x9 pan makes in easy to bring to a party. I used Recipe #423064 to spread on the warm cake before topping with icing. You can use any berry jelly you like.
