Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Zest from one lemon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined.
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.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the Bizcocho with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
