Hola!!


I hope everyone is doing well and cooking and baking a lot! Today’s recipe is a cake, my go-to cake, or Bizcocho. That’s what we call it in Spain. This cake is very popular in Spain, and I swear this is the easiest cake ever! (My personal nickname is Easy Cake.) No frosting, no special tools … all you need are a bowl, a whisk and a mold for the cake. And it’s always good to have a little cake around the house.


I think the first time I made this cake I was 6 or 7 years old. Yup, it’s that easy. You can use a round mold or a square one, it doesn’t matter. The cake stays fresh for a couple of days, but I am telling you, you’ll eat it before that. You could also keep it in the fridge and it would last about 5 days.


I always dust powdered sugar on top of the cake, but you can get as creative as you want, and cover the cake with chocolate frosting, lemon frosting… Go crazy, or go easy and traditional and just use powdered sugar.
