# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, orange juice, orange zest, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Add grated ginger if using.
04 -
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense cakes.
05 -
Divide the batter evenly between your prepared cake pans. Tap the pans gently to level the batter.
06 -
Place the pans in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. The cakes should be golden brown and slightly springy to the touch.
07 -
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
