Best Boston Cream Pie Recipe - How To Make Boston Cream Pie

Step 1Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9" cake pan with cooking spray. Line bottom of pan with parchment and grease parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.

Step 2In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar on medium-high until thick, light in color, and starting to hold its shape, about 8 minutes.

Step 3Add dry ingredients and milk, melted butter, and vanilla into wet ingredients. Mix on low speed, until just combined.

Step 4Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5Make the custard: In a medium saucepan, whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add milk and egg yolks and whisk until well combined. Add butter and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Continue whisking until thickened, about 4 minutes.

Step 6Remove saucepan from heat and scrape cream into a medium heatproof bowl. Cover top directly with plastic to prevent a crust from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours.

Step 7Whisk vanilla into chilled pastry cream until smooth.

Step 8Cut cake in half horizontally using a large serrated knife. Place bottom half on a platter or plate, cut side up. Spread chilled pastry cream over top. Sandwich with remaining half of cake, cut side down.

Step 9In a medium microwave safe bowl, heat cream until bubbling. Add chocolate chips and corn syrup. Cover with a plate and let sit 5 minutes. Remove plate and stir until smooth. Pour chocolate over top of cake. Let set in refrigerator 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
