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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Once cooled, dust the Bizcocho with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
