Boston Cream Pie
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of milk until smooth. Add the remaining milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
-
Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the cooled custard mixture.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the custard filling evenly over the top. Top with the second cake layer.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to set the chocolate. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar.
