Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 100 milliliters whole milk
- 100 milliliters vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 10 grams baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Gradually add the vegetable oil and milk to the egg mixture while continuing to beat, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest to the mixture and mix well.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Take care not to over-mix to maintain the cake's light texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, sprinkle the top of the bizcocho with powdered sugar before serving.
