Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup orange juice freshly squeezed if possible
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the honey and mix until well combined.
  5. Beat in the egg, followed by the orange juice and orange zest, mixing until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped crystallized ginger.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
