Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking pan with parchment paper.

Tip: This prevents sticking and makes lifting the cake out easy.
2 ✓

In a bowl, mix dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.

Tip: Mixing ensures baking powder is distributed evenly for level rising.
3 ✓

In another bowl, whisk eggs with sugar until frothy, then drizzle in honey, melted (lukewarm) butter, orange juice, and zest.

Tip: Butter shouldn't be hot or it will cook the eggs. Whisking with sugar adds air.
4 ✓

Pour wet mixture into dry and mix just until flour disappears. Do not overmix!

Tip: Overmixing activates gluten, making the cake dense and rubbery instead of tender.
5 ✓

Spread batter in pan and bake 25-30 minutes. Perform toothpick test.

Tip: If the toothpick comes out with moist crumbs but no liquid batter, it's done.
6 ✓

Cool completely in pan, then slice into squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tip: Cutting while hot may cause crumbling.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the cake flat?
Old baking powder, or the batter sat too long before baking, letting gas bubbles escape.
It's too dry.
Likely overbaked. Every oven is different; do a toothpick test 5 minutes early!
