Ingredients

For the dough:
- 7 tablespoons of sugar
- 7 tablespoons of oil
- 7 tablespoons of sour milk (or milk)
- 2 eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 1 packet of ammonium quenched in a little lemon juice or vinegar
- Flour as needed (approximately 500g)

For the cream:
- 1 liter of milk
- 9 tablespoons of flour
- 1 package of butter (250g)
- 1 cup of sugar (+ 2-3 tablespoons of powdered sugar)
- Juice and zest of one lemon

Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the dough

1. In a large bowl, add the 7 tablespoons of sugar, eggs, and yogurt. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. It is essential that the sugar completely dissolves to avoid crystals in the dough.

2. Add the quenched ammonium and mix again. The ammonium will help the dough rise and achieve a fluffy texture.

3. Start gradually incorporating the flour, mixing continuously. Continue adding flour until you obtain a firm but elastic dough. It should easily detach from the sides of the bowl.

4. Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Cover them with a damp towel to prevent drying.

Step 2: Baking the sheets

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. On a greased tray, roll out each piece of dough into a thin sheet. Make sure the sheets are the size of your tray for even baking.

3. Bake each sheet for 10-12 minutes or until they become lightly golden. Let them cool on a cooling rack.

Step 3: Preparing the cream

1. In a cup of milk, add the 9 tablespoons of flour. Mix well to avoid lumps. A mixer can be very helpful at this stage.

2. Put the remaining milk in a pot over a double boiler, along with 1 cup of sugar. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.

3. When the milk begins to boil, add the milk and flour mixture. Continue stirring until the cream thickens. This step is essential for obtaining a smooth and velvety cream.

4. Once the cream has thickened, let it cool completely.

5. In another bowl, beat the butter with the powdered sugar until fluffy. It is important that the butter is at room temperature for better mixing.

6. Start adding the cooled cream one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add the lemon juice and zest, which will give the cream a fresh and invigorating aroma.

Step 4: Assembling the cake

1. On a tray, place the first sheet of dough. Spread an even portion of the prepared cream, ensuring it reaches the edges.

2. Repeat the process with the other sheets, alternating with the cream, until you finish all four sheets.

3. The last sheet will remain uncovered, but you can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for an elegant look.

4. Let the cake rest for a few hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld well.

Serving suggestions and variations

The "Snow White Cake" is perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to family gatherings. You can serve it plain or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fruit sauce.

To add extra flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla essence to the buttercream or replace the lemon with orange for a different aroma.

Nutritional benefits

This cake provides a good source of energy due to the carbohydrates and healthy fats from the butter. Additionally, milk provides calcium, and lemon adds a hint of vitamin C.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use another type of oil?
Yes, you can use sunflower oil or coconut oil, but make sure to choose an oil with a neutral taste so as not to alter the cake's flavor.

2. How can I avoid lumps in the cream?
Mixing the flour with a cup of milk at the beginning and using a mixer can help prevent lumps.

3. How long can the cake be stored?
The cake keeps well in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, but the longer you let it rest, the tastier it becomes.
