Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients: mix melted butter, honey, eggs, orange juice, orange zest, and grated ginger until smooth.
  5. Combine both mixtures: gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out to cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Make the optional glaze by whisking together honey and orange juice until smooth, then pour over the cooled cake.
  10. Serve and enjoy your cake!

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and orange juice with plant-based milk. Enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
