ALL CHOCOLATE BOSTON CREAM PIE



All Chocolate Boston Cream Pie image

This cake is an absolute chocolate-lover's dream! The glaze must be a little warm when poured over the cooled cakes or the glaze will not set properly, place in the refrigerator as soon as possible to harden the glaze --- one box of Duncan Hines deviled food chocolate cake mix may be used instead and baked in two 8-inch round pans, I previously baked the cakes in 9-inch pans and found they were too flat, so I suggest 8-inch pans for the boxed cake mix :)

BOSTON CREAM PIE III



Boston Cream Pie III image

Boston Cream Pie is really a cake consisting of 2 layers of yellow cake filled with pastry cream and topped with chocolate glaze. This recipe is easier than it looks and well worth the effort!

Provided by Jackie Smith

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Yellow Cake Recipes

Time 3h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup milk
3 egg yolks
1 cup milk
3 egg yolks
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon hot water
confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 - 8 inch round cake pans and line bottoms with rounds of parchment paper. Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with 3/4 cup milk. Mix only enough to blend thoroughly; do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter between 2 - 8 inch pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
  • To make the Pastry Cream Filling: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup milk to the boiling point and remove from heat. In a heatproof mixing bowl, beat 3 egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating until pale yellow. Beat in 1/4 cup flour. Pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture in steady stream, beating constantly. When all the milk has been added, place the bowl over a pan of boiling water so that the bowl is not touching the water, or pour the mixture into the top of a double boiler. Heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Cook 2 minutes more, then remove from the heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Let cool.
  • To make the Glaze: In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate with 2 tablespoons butter. When smooth, remove from the heat and beat in the confectioners sugar to make a thick paste. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in a little of the hot water. If the glaze does not have a spreadable consistency, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time.
  • To assemble the cake, spread the cooled pastry cream over one of the cake layers. Place second cake layer over pastry cream and spread the chocolate glaze over the top using a metal spatula. Dust top with confectioners sugar. Refrigerate any leftover cake.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for the best results. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cake. Overcooked cake will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • When making the chocolate ganache, use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. You can use semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, or dark chocolate, depending on your preference.
  • Make sure the ganache is cooled slightly before pouring it over the cake. If the ganache is too hot, it will melt the frosting.
  • You can decorate the cake with additional chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts, if desired.

Conclusion:

This triple chocolate Boston cream pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's rich, decadent, and sure to please everyone. With its moist chocolate cake, creamy chocolate filling, and chocolate ganache topping, this pie is a chocolate lover's dream. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this triple chocolate Boston cream pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
