Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup honey
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup Orange Gin Extractger
  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  3. Cream butter and honey: In another bowl, beat ½ cup of unsalted butter with 1 cup of honey until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs: Add 3 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. If using flax eggs, ensure they are prepared and mixed in at this stage.
  5. Incorporate the gin extractger: Stir in ½ cup of the Orange Gin Extractger (or your non-alcoholic substitute) along with the zest of 1 large orange for extra flavor.
  6. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  7. Pour into the pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake the cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Glaze (optional): For a finishing touch, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of orange juice to create a simple glaze. Drizzle it over the cooled cake.
