bizcocho
/biθˈkot͡ʃo/ · B2 · noun · m
sponge cake
🍰 bizcocho = bis + cocho (from cocer): twice-cooked, like biscuit
From Latin bis coctus, meaning twice cooked. Spanish bis (twice) plus cocho (cooked, from cocer). English biscuit shares this origin. Fired unglazed pottery is also baked once, hence the bisque sense.
