Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan, ensuring it’s ready for the delicious batter that’s about to come.
  2. Cream the sweet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together honey, sugar, and butter until smooth. This lovely blend is where your sweetness begins.
  3. Incorporate eggs and flavor: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the orange juice, zest, and ginger. Let the fresh scents of orange and ginger dance together as you mix.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. This will create a fluffy base for your cake.
  5. Join forces: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Be gentle; we want a tender cake, not a dense one.
  6. Batter in the pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Watch as the vibrant mixture fills your pan with possibilities.
  7. Bake to perfection: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The sweet aroma will fill your kitchen, teasing your anticipation.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow to cool before serving. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, preferably with a cup of tea or coffee.

Notes

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent twist. Pair with citrusy green tea or warm chai latte.
