Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these Orange Ginger Honey Cakes ahead of time?
Yes, these cakes store well. For the best texture, bake them a day ahead and store in an airtight container. The flavors of orange, ginger, and honey meld beautifully overnight.
What can I use if I don’t have fresh ginger?
You can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger for the fresh grated ginger. The flavor profile will be slightly different but still delicious in these Orange Ginger Honey Cakes.
How do I prevent the cakes from sticking to the pan?
Thoroughly grease your muffin tin or use paper liners. Ensuring your Orange Ginger Honey Cakes are completely cool before removing them also helps prevent sticking and breakage.
