Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Grease a round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until the sugar has dissolved.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix as the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the vegetable oil and lemon zest until just incorporated into the batter. This will add a lovely fragrance and moist texture to your cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy the vegan bizcocho casero as a delightful comforting dessert or as a sweet treat with tea or coffee!
