PINEAPPLE SNOWBALLS
From "Seasoned in Sewickley," a Pittsburgh area cookbook published in 1980. This is a cold, quick, light and refreshing dessert, good for summertime. And pretty, too. Simple to make. It IS better if made the night before so that the vanilla wafers have a chance to soften. EDITED to make it clear that you need 18 plus 36 vanilla wafers so you need to buy a whole box. And the crushed wafer/crushed pineapple mixture needs to be fairly wet so that the the stacked wafers will soften. If you drain the crushed pineapple, keep the juice in case you need to add it in. From my cache of "Olde" recipes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and lemon extracts.
- In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat 5 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- To make the Fluffy White Frosting: Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 2 egg whites, corn syrup, and cream of tartar in the top of a double boiler. Add cold water and beat on low speed of electric mixer just until blended. Place over boiling water and beat constantly on high speed about 3 minutes or until soft peaks form. Remove from heat and place over cold water. Add vanilla and beat an additional 3 minutes or until frosting is thick enough to spread.
