2 cups all-purpose flour a classic base for creating a soft and fluffy texture.
2 teaspoons baking powder ensures your cakes rise beautifully.
1 pinch salt balances the sweetness and enhances flavors.
½ cup unsalted butter, softened adds richness and moisture to the cakes.
½ cup honey sweetens the cakes naturally, infusing them with a lovely flavor.
2 large eggs binds ingredients together and adds structure.
2 tablespoons orange gin extract gives a unique citrus twist, making these cakes special.
Zest of 1 orange amplifies the orange flavor, adding a delightful freshness.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Beat the softened unsalted butter and honey together until creamy in another bowl, then add in the eggs and orange gin extract, mixing until well combined.
Mix in the zest of the orange to the wet mixture.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cakes in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness. Keep butter at room temperature for easier blending with honey.
