Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 22 cm (9 inch) round cake pan with a little vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Slowly add the skim milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the egg mixture, and mix on low speed until combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to over-mix. Stop as soon as the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the bizcocho into wedges and serve plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch.
