Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking pans by spraying them with cooking oil or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix honey, eggs, and vegetable oil. Whisk until well combined. Stir in fresh orange juice and zest.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans, filling about two-thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, let cakes cool in pans for about five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
