Boston Cream Pie


Cake


1-1/4 cups flour


1 cup sugar


1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder








1/2 teaspoon salt


3/4 cup milk


1/3 cup shortening


1 egg


1 teaspoon vanilla








Mix dry ingredients, then add shortening, milk and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes then add egg and beat 2 more minutes. Pour into 8-inch round layer pan. Bake at 350掳 for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool. Split cake to make 2 thin layers. Fill layers with Cream Filling. Spread top with Chocolate glaze. Refrigerate any remaining cake.








Cream Filling


1/3 cup sugar


2 tablespoons cornstarch


1/8 teaspoon salt


1-1/2 cups milk


2 egg yolks, slightly beaten


2 teaspoons vanilla








Blend sugar, cornstarch and salt in medium saucepan. Combine milk and egg yolks; gradually stir into sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature.








Chocolate Glaze


2 ounces unsweetened chocolate


3 tablespoons butter


1 cup powdered sugar


1 teaspoon vanilla


2 tablespoons hot water








Melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Remove from heat; stir in sugar and vanilla. Mix in about 2 tablespoons hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until glaze is of proper consistency.
Make a sponge cake, or chiffon cake from scratch .... Make some Bavarian custard, from scratch .... After the cake has cooled, put the custard between the layers. Frost with a dark chocolate icing and let it drip down over the layers .........NOW, you might want to use a yellow cake mix instead (beat at least 3 min - closer to 5 min); use Bird's custard mix for the filling; make your icing using unsweetened chocolate squares, butter %26amp; powdered sugar.....
