Unleash the zest and warmth of orange, ginger, & honey in these delightful cakes! Simple dry ingredient whisking begins your path to a moist, flavorful treat. Full cooking guide & nutrition.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 1 ½ cups
  • Granulated sugar: ¾ cup
  • Baking powder: 1 ½ teaspoons
  • Large eggs: 2
  • Unsalted butter, melted: ½ cup
  • Honey: ¼ cup
  • Orange zest: 1 tablespoon (from 1 large orange)
  • Fresh ginger, grated: 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan, or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until thoroughly combined.
  3. Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the large eggs, melted unsalted butter, honey, orange zest, and grated fresh ginger until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Step 4: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined and no dry streaks of flour are visible. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
  5. Step 5: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan or muffin tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes for a cake, or 18-22 minutes for individual muffins, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: Let the cakes or muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For lasting freshness, store your cooled cakes in an airtight container; they'll stay wonderfully moist at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
  • To revive their cozy warmth, gently microwave individual cakes for 10-15 seconds, or warm them briefly in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) until just heated through.
  • These versatile cakes are simply irresistible on their own, but for an extra treat, serve them warm with a dollop of crème fraîche, a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
  • For the most vibrant flavor, ensure you're using freshly grated ginger and bright orange zest; a microplane zester works wonders for extracting maximum aroma and flavor without the bitter pith.
