Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a small cake pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the honey, orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, oil, and eggs until smooth.
- Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
