Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes (8-10 minutes per sheet)
Total time: 60 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients

For the sheets:
- 10 tablespoons milk
- 10 tablespoons oil
- 10 tablespoons brown sugar (or white sugar with 1-2 tablespoons less)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Flour as needed (approximately 500-550g)

For the cream:
- 800 ml milk
- 8 tablespoons cornstarch (or flour)
- 8 tablespoons brown sugar
- Zest and juice of one lemon
- Vanilla essence
- 200 g butter at room temperature
- Powdered sugar (for decoration)

Step by Step

1. Preparing the sheets

Start by beating the eggs together with the salt and brown sugar in a bowl. Use a mixer or whisk to ensure the sugar completely dissolves in the mixture. Add the oil and milk, continuing to mix until you achieve a homogeneous composition.

Practical tip: If you prefer a stronger vanilla flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence at this point.

In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking soda. Start incorporating the flour mixture into the egg composition, kneading a dough that no longer sticks to your hands. Once you have achieved the optimal consistency, divide the dough into 3 equal parts.

2. Baking the sheets

Roll out each part of the dough on a sheet of parchment paper, forming sheets approximately 28 cm high and 33 cm wide. Using parchment paper will prevent the sheets from breaking.

Bake the sheets in a preheated oven at 180°C for 8-10 minutes or until they become slightly golden. It is important not to leave them in the oven too long to avoid drying out.

3. Preparing the cream

Meanwhile, to make the cream, add the cornstarch, brown sugar, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Place the saucepan on the stove and whisk until the cream thickens.

Practical tip: If you want an even more aromatic cream, you can add a few drops of almond essence.

Once the cream reaches the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the lemon juice and vanilla essence. Mix well and let the cream cool. Once cooled, add the butter, spoon by spoon, and mix until fully incorporated.

4. Assembling the cake

On a cardboard, place a plastic wrap and put the first sheet of dough. Spread half of the prepared cream, then place the second sheet. Continue with the remaining cream and finish with the last sheet.

Cover the cake with plastic wrap and place a piece of cardboard on top to press it down. It is recommended to add some weights to help the sheets soften well. Place the cake in the refrigerator until the next day.

5. Decorating and serving

After the cake has been in the refrigerator, take it out and decorate it with powdered sugar. You can use a sieve to achieve an even layer of sugar. Cut the cake into squares or diamonds and serve it with hot tea, cappuccino, or even a glass of milk.

Variations and Suggestions

If you want to add a touch of personality to your cake, you can experiment with different flavors, such as:
- Adding ground nuts to the buttercream for a crunchy texture.
- Using cocoa in the sheets to create a chocolate cake.
- Replacing lemon with orange for a different citrus flavor.

Nutritional Benefits

Snow White Cake, especially with brown sugar, can bring a note of antioxidants, while eggs and butter provide essential proteins. Milk adds calcium, beneficial for bones. Although it is a delicious dessert, it is important to consume it in moderation, considering the sugar and calorie content.
