Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mixing
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the honey, orange zest, orange juice, and milk until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
Baking & Cooling
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin or pour into the cake pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes for muffins, or 25-30 minutes for a cake, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze (Optional)
- If desired, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth for the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cakes before serving.
Notes
For an extra zing, add candied ginger to the batter. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
