It's touching that people asked for the recipe, so I'm sharing it! I'm sure my grandma would be happy too
Romanian Snow-white cake recipe (no lemon version)
Yields one 3 layer cake, approx 20x25 cm (serves 8-10)
Ingredients
Dough
300 g flour
70 g margarine (or unsalted butter)
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
10 g baker’s ammonia (ammonium bicarbonate / hartshorn salt) *
1 egg
A little milk (start with 4–6 tablespoons and add only as needed)
Cream
3½ tablespoons flour
A little cold milk (about 4–5 tablespoons for the slurry)
150 ml milk
180–200 g margarine (or unsalted butter)
250 g powdered sugar
2 packets vanilla sugar
1 egg **
Topping
1 egg white **
100 g granulated sugar
A few drops of lemon juice
Directions
Make the dough
Rub the margarine into the flour until it looks like fine crumbs. Add the powdered sugar, baker’s ammonia, egg, and a little milk. Knead until you have a firm (not sticky) dough. Divide into 3 equal pieces.
Bake the layers
Roll each piece very thin (2–3 mm thick, the thickness of a credit card) to roughly 20 × 25 cm. My grandma used to bake the layers on the buttered backside of a baking tray, I prefer a cut out parchment paper, to avoid the messy buttering. Bake each layer separately at 190 °C (upper + lower heat, no fan) for 5–8 minutes, until just light golden. (It bakes quickly, pay attention)
Make the cream
Mix the 3½ tablespoons flour with a little cold milk until completely smooth. Bring the 150 ml milk to a boil, whisk in the slurry, and cook for 1–2 minutes until thickened. Cool completely. Beat the soft margarine with the powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and egg until very light and fluffy. Add the cooled pudding gradually and beat until smooth and airy.
Assemble the cake
Place the first baked layer on your serving plate. Spread one-third of the cream on top. Repeat with the second and third layers. Smooth the top.
Make the topping
Whip the egg white with the 100 g sugar and a few drops of lemon juice until stiff and glossy. Spread it evenly over the top of the cake.
Drying and resting
Let the meringue dry at room temperature for 30–60 minutes (until the surface feels dry). For the best result, cover the cake loosely and put it in the fridge for at least 8–12 hours (overnight is best). The goal is for the cream to soften the layers, so they blend together.
Serving
Take the cake out of the fridge 30–45 minutes before serving. Trim the sides if desired and make rectangular slices.
Notes
* The original recipe calls for baker's ammonia, which was a common leavener in the past. It smells during the baking, but goes away after it's done, and results in a very crispy texture. If you can't find it, or are worried about the smell, replace with same amout of baking powder or about third amout of baking soda. Although the texture won't be the same if not using ammonia.
** Both the cream and the topping uses uncooked eggs. If you are worried about this, pasteurize or omit them. (in my opinion, the cream doesn't need it, and the topping can be replaced with a simple meringue or just powdered sugar
