- Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup finely chopped fresh ginger.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
