  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

Method
 

Prepare the Oven and Pan
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger.

Bake the Cake

Cool and Serve
