Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the batter evenly.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend the honey, orange juice, orange zest, grated fresh ginger, vegetable oil, and eggs thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make the cake tough.
  5. Prepare Cake Pan: Grease a cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking, then pour in the batter evenly.
  6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is cooked through.
  7. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes for it to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.

Notes

  • Use fresh orange juice and zest for the best flavor intensity.
  • Grate ginger finely to evenly distribute the spice without chunks.
  • Do not overmix batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Check the cake at 20 minutes as oven temperatures may vary.
  • To enhance moisture, you can brush the cake with a mixture of honey and orange juice after baking.
