Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking containers.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and freshly grated ginger until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with honey and fresh orange juice until smooth.
  4. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared tins, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Place the filled tins in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Once baked, let the cakes cool for about 5 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. Optionally, drizzle with a honey-orange glaze or frost them once cooled.
