Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round baking pan.
In one bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: honey, orange juice, orange zest, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just blended—some lumps are okay.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
