Layered Chocolate Cake Sheets (Foi cu Ciocolată)

A classic Romanian dessert made with tender cake sheets and a rich boiled chocolate cream — simple, nostalgic, and incredibly comforting.

Ingredients
    For the cake:
  • 4 baked cake sheets (tray-baked, recipe prepared separately)
    • For the chocolate cream:
  • 10 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose or cake flour (heaped)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (heaped)
  • 1 l milk
  • 250 g chocolate (milk or dark, according to preference)
  • 100 g butter
  • 2 tbsp rum essence (or any preferred flavoring)
    • For topping:
  • Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Prepare the chocolate cream:

    • In a large saucepan, mix the sugar, flour, and cocoa powder until well combined.

    • Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

    • Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the cream thickens and starts to boil.

    • Let it boil gently for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

    • Add the chocolate and butter, then mix until fully melted and smooth.

    • Stir in the rum essence at the end.

    • Use the cream hot (do not let it cool).

  2. 2
    Assemble the cake:

    • Divide the hot cream into 4 equal parts.

    • Place one cake sheet on a board or tray.

    • Spread one portion of cream evenly over it.

    • Repeat layering: sheet → cream → sheet → cream, until all sheets and cream are used.

  3. 3
    Finish and chill:

    • Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top, if desired.

    • Refrigerate overnight to allow the sheets to soften and flavors to blend.
