Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or by greasing and flouring it.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with the eggs until fluffy, then mix in the honey, orange zest, and grated ginger until well combined.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
Baking
  1. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling
  1. Let the cakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. You can also drizzle with a light honey glaze after baking for extra sweetness.
