02 -
1/4 cup vegetable oil
03 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 -
2 large eggs
05 -
1/4 cup honey
06 -
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
07 -
1 tablespoon orange zest
08 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
09 -
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda
12 -
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
13 -
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat your pans with grease and dust with flour, or use parchment paper for easy removal later.
02 -
Grab a medium-sized bowl and whisk together your flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and ginger. Set it aside for now.
03 -
In another bowl, stir together the honey, eggs, orange zest, orange juice, oil, and vanilla. Toss in the freshly grated ginger for extra flavor if you'd like.
04 -
Carefully mix the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry stuff. Stir gently until just blended. Don’t overdo it if you want soft cakes.
05 -
Pour the batter evenly into your pans. Give the pans a little tap to settle the mixture before baking.
06 -
Slide the pans into the oven and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should come out clean. Your cakes will look golden and feel bouncy.
07 -
Once out of the oven, let the cakes rest in their pans for 10 minutes. Then move them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
