This cake is really delicious, and it practically makes itself. Just mix the ingredients together, which will take about 5 minutes, and let the oven do its job.

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 150 ml milk
  • 250 ml oil
  • 1 lemon
  • 370 g wheat flour
  • 14 g baking powder

Instructions
 

  • We will start by putting the sugar in a large bowl, where we will prepare the dough for our sponge cake.
    Add the 4 eggs and the pinch of salt (which will help the eggs to integrate better). Beat very well until the eggs are whipped. It is preferable, if you have one, to use a stick blender, if not, you can also do it by hand, although it costs a little bit.
  • Now add the milk, the oil, and the zest of 1 lemon. Be careful not to reach the white part of the lemon with the grater, as it will give a bitter taste. Beat well until all the ingredients are integrated.
  • We will continue with the dry ingredients. With a strainer or sieve, we will add the dry ingredients: the yeast and the flour, and we will sift it. Mix well until there are no lumps. If you have an electric mixer, do it at the lowest speed that your mixer has. At this point we do not have to beat too much, just until you see that there are no lumps. The less you beat it, the fluffier it will be.
  • Continue adding the mixture to a baking pan suitable for the oven. If it is removable, the better. You can place baking paper on the base of the mold, and paint the walls with butter to make it easier to unmold.
  • Pour the dough into the mold and put it in the oven, previously preheated. Bake for 1 hour and ten minutes, at 160 ºC, with heat up and down.
    Check that it is done by poking it with a toothpick. If it comes out dry, it is ready.

Notes

NOTE: If you want the yeast to have more effect, let the dough rest for about 15 minutes before putting the cake in the oven.
