Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.

In a larger mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and honey together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs to the butter and honey mixture, one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition.

Pour in the orange juice and add the grated orange zest to your batter, mixing on low speed until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet batter, mixing on low speed just until combined.

If using, fold in the crystallized ginger gently with a spatula.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
