Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup honey
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons orange zest (from about 2 oranges)
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
For the Glaze:
¼ cup honey
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper. This ensures that the cake doesn’t stick to the pan and makes it easier to remove later.
Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together:
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Mixing the dry ingredients beforehand ensures they are evenly distributed in the batter. Set the bowl aside.
Step 3: Cream the Butter, Honey, and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
½ cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
½ cup honey
¾ cup granulated sugar
