Tips:

Use fresh hibiscus flowers. Fresh hibiscus flowers are more flavorful and have a more vibrant color than dried flowers. If you can't find fresh hibiscus flowers, you can use dried flowers, but you may need to increase the amount you use.
Make sure the hibiscus flowers are clean. Rinse the hibiscus flowers thoroughly before using them. This will remove any dirt or debris.
Don't overcook the hibiscus flowers. Overcooked hibiscus flowers will lose their color and flavor. Cook them just until they are softened.
Use a good quality honey. The quality of the honey you use will affect the flavor of the cake. Use a honey that is flavorful and has a light color.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Hibiscus nectar cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made with a variety of different ingredients. The cake is a great way to use up fresh hibiscus flowers and is a delicious way to enjoy the flavors of summer.
