Comment préparer Hibiscus Nectar Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup shortening at medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar, beating well after each addition.
- Add 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon hibiscus extract (or other desired flavoring extract), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat until just combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and 1/2 cup sour cream.
- In another bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk mixture to the creamed butter mixture, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined after each addition.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Fold in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1 cup chopped pecans, and 1 cup maraschino cherries, drained.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
