Rinse the lemon with hot water, dry it, and grate the zest all over. Mix the flour, baking powder, spices, lemon zest, candied lemon peel, and candied orange peel and knead into the honey mixture using the dough hook of a hand mixer. Immediately spread the warm batter onto the greased baking tray. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
