What do you do when a Southern girl tells you that her favorite birthday cake isn’t the cherished Southern Coconut Cake but instead she would prefer Boston Cream Pie instead?
Well, I am all about having your favorite for your birthday so I promised to come through with a fabulous Boston Cream Pie. I am from the North, so I ought to be able to come up with a great recipe.
I must confess that I do love BCP, and have fond memories of my mom making them. They are actually a cake and since I am all about cake-especially white cake, I knew this would be fun coming up with something special.
My mom has a great recipe which I lost and I didn’t have time for a rewrite, I chose to go for broke. I tried a recipe from an unknown source at the last minute and held my breath.
Mid way through the cake I had my doubts, the same was true with the cream filling and chocolate ganache. Any doubts that I had were quickly erased once I had a bite of this yummy dessert. The cake was absolutely fabulous and is on my all time favorite list. The ganache was creamy and oh so good.
I will add that I like lots of filling so will increase the recipe by 1/2 more next time. Save your cake scraps for your am coffee or freeze them for making another last minute trifle or banana pudding dessert.
For the recipe please click this link to visit Design Sponge and have fun, I know I did.

Boston Cream Pies definitely do not get the attention they deserve. They’re my all time favorite dessert, but can you believe I’ve never actually made it myself? i think its about time! Great photos.
So smooth and delicious!
Cheers,

Oh there is nothing better (to me) than a Boston Cream Pie. I’d been begging anyone that could possibly indulge me, to make me one for my birthday. Everyone smiled politely, muttering something as they walked away. So, I made my own. I screwed up the genoise, twice, and ended up making a plain buttermilk yellow cake into my beloved BCP. It was good, but it’s not the same without a good sponge cake. I’m going to try your recipe next time. Thanks for sharing it with us, Kim.
You certainly improved Boston Cream Pies. In the form of minis, they are more appealing.
You certainly improved Boston Cream Pies. The minis are adorable.
