Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in honey, orange juice, orange zest, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; don't overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cooling before slicing.
