3/4
cup granulated sugar
-
1/4
cup brandy
-
3
large eggs

1/4
cup icing sugar

1
tablespoon hibiscus syrup (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease your bundt pan.
- Beat the butter, oil and sugar in a large bowl until light and creamy. Add the liquor and then the eggs one at a time, mixing between each egg. Stir in the juice, zest and rosemary.
- In a medium size bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal and baking powder. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding just until combined. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before inversing the cake onto a cooling rack.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, glaze it with the syrup ingredients all mixed together. It will soak right in, making a deliciously saucy crust!
