Start by beating the six egg yolks with the honey, yeast, sugar, fennel, cinnamon, butter, zest and orange juice.

Then add the flour and stir until completely incorporated.

Beat the egg whites and add to the previous mixture, stirring from bottom to top.

Then grease a cake tin (with a hole in the center), sprinkle with flour and pour in the batter. Cover with aluminum foil, also greased with butter, and bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC for 20 minutes.
