Ingrédients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your butter is softened for easy creaming with sugar. Pre-measure and organize your dry and wet ingredients separately.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan.

Mixing

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon, and whisk together.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the honey slowly until fully incorporated.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well combined before adding the next.
  • Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Baking

  • Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan, ensuring it is level across the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For variations, consider adding chopped crystallized ginger or nuts to the batter, or topping with a simple glaze of powdered sugar and lemon juice.
