Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or a bundt pan and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and salt. Set aside.

Add the orange juice, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the wet mixture, stirring well to combine.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.
