How to Make Orange Ginger Honey Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cake pan by greasing it with unsalted butter and dusting it with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and honey until smooth. Slowly add eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the grated ginger and orange zest.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Brush with your choice of glaze once cool.
