Recipe
Makes 1 9-inch cake
Serves 12
Ingredients
CAKE
1 cup (200 g) sugar
¾ cup (96 g) cake & pastry flour
½ cup (75 g) all-purpose flour
1 ¼ tsp (4 g) baking powder
¼ tsp (1 g) salt
½ cup (115 g) cool unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 large eggs
½ cup (125 ml) milk
2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract
CREAM FILLING
½ cup (125 ml) whipping cream
½ cup (125 ml) milk
½ vanilla bean (or 1 ½ tsp vanilla bean paste)
3 large egg yolks
3 Tbsp (37 g) sugar
1 ½ Tbsp (12 g) cornstarch
2 Tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter
GANACHE GLAZE
½ cup (125 ml) whipping cream
4 oz (115 g) chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 Tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
1 Tbsp (15 ml) corn syrup
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 F (162 C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and dust the sides of the pan with flour, tapping out any excess.
2. Sift the sugar, cake & pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl or into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cut in the butter until the flour has a rough crumbly texture.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour this into the flour mixture and beat to blend using electric beaters (or in the mixer) on low speed then increase the speed to medium high and beat until the batter is pale and thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and tap the pan on the counter to release any large air bubbles. Bake the cake for about 35 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake for 30 minutes in its pan, then turn it out to cool completely.
4. While the cake is baking, prepare the pastry cream. Heat the cream and milk in a small saucepot with the scraped seeds from the vanilla bean (or vanilla bean paste) until it just begins to simmer. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and cornstarch and have ready a separate bowl with the butter, with a strainer placed over it. Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture while whisking, then return the entire mixture back to the pot, constantly whisking over medium heat until it becomes glossy and thick, 2-3 minutes. Immediately pour this through the strainer over the butter, stirring until the butter has melted. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the surface of the cream filling, cool to room temperature and then chill until ready to fill.
5. For the ganache glaze, bring the cream up to a simmer and pour over the chopped chocolate. Gently stir this until the chocolate has melted, then stir in the oil and corn syrup. Set aside to cool to room temperature before using.
6. To assemble, slice the cooled cake in half horizontally and place the bottom layer on a platter. Spread the chilled cream filling evenly over the cake layer and top with the other cake layer. Pour the cooled (but still fluid) ganache glaze over the top and spread it so that it cover the top of the cake evenly, but not the side. Chill the cake until ready to serve.
The cake can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days.

What i love about her, is that she is just playing like everthing is so easy to do.
It comes with experience! :)
I've just watched Ratched series and got inspired by it to make this cake. I must say it is one quite delicious, my family loves it 🥰
wow, this was f'n EPIC!!! I halfed the recipe and did 2 triple decker mini ones in 3 mini round pans i had. EVERYTHING was delish.
HiAna.I made this Cake for. Easter came wonderful thank you .
What amazing timing! It's my birthday next week and as a little girl I always had a Boston Cream Pie (from a mix) as my birthday cake. I love to bake, so I'm going to have a special birthday!
That is amazing timing! Happy Birthday!
Made this OMG light , moist, and dam good.
What i love about her, is that she is just playing, like everthing is just easy to do.
Is when you’re a professional pastry chef with years of experience.
@@samuelkletz6708: I've been baking since the late '60's and I still don't find it easy - I find it more of a chore - not that what I bake doesn't turn out, because it does, actually. But - SO many ingredients to get out and then measure and put together 'just so', and then there's the clean-up! I only bake when I absolutely HAVE to.
Doesn't hurt when you have a crew to help get things ready and clean up lol
Just made this and in frig... Pretty easy to do. For my Mother in law's birthday. First time making a BCP. The filling is delicious.... it's gonna be a hit!
I love Boston cream donuts and I love this cake 😍 thank you Anna it’s so pretty and looks so delicious

In the recipe says that you have to put corn syrup and butter with the ganache but in the video you don’t do that, do we do or do we don’t add the two? Btw love all your recipes ❤️

I love cream pies!
Made that look easy.
Wow...looks great and delicious...i' ll try this.
Great to hear Susan! Please let us know how it turns out!
this looks lovely, though I prefer a ganache that runs down the sides, so I add corn syrap to the chocolate.
OMG you make it look so easy to make. But I sense there's a lot of artistry and hard work that goes into making a cake like that...... 🍰👅
Looks fabulous!
Sure thing em gonna try this again 😊
I already tried her cheesecake and my family love em so much 😍😍😍

Delicious !!! Like a giant chocolate & cream donut. All you food is glorious. Anna, might I ask you something? Where are you from. ? I just would like to know it because I havve admired you since many years ago. I used to watch your tv shows. Blessings and keep cooking gorgeous food 🌸🌼🌻
Canada!
Can you show us more cream pie recipes please I love cream pie
We might have a couple of more for you. Keep an eye out!
Nice ~ love it😍
Thank you!
Looks amazing
Beautiful
Hi Anna can I use oil instead of butter? What diff would it make though, appreciate your help ty
Superb brillant great recipe😘😋
I wish I could just have one ready like she does
In the 1970 years it was made in a pie pan. I grew up in the Northeast the home of the Boston Cream Pie
Hi I love all your recipes!! 🙌😘
But so many call for whipping cream and it not available where live !! In Trinidad !!What can I use instead of the whipping cream???
Thank you !!
In the United States we don't have a combination flour called cake and pastry flour. We can either buy cake flour or pastry flour.
Nice job chef, but I have a problem with the Boston cream pie being inspired by a donut. As a former chef of the Parker House and well before it was ever known as the Omni Parker House. Did we have French custard filled donuts in 1856, or was it 57, when the Boston cream pie was invented at the Parker House? Love your show and liked what you did with the Puff Pastry. Also worked at Locke-Ober's, making puff pastry.
*Oh Yum with Anna Olson:* Looks DELICIOUS!! Where would you buy "vanilla bean paste"? My grocery store doesn't carry ingredients like that - doesn't even have the "espresso coffee" you sometimes mention. When a recipe calls for vanilla bean paste, can you just use vanilla liquid instead, and if so, how much would be needed for the same amount of vanilla bean paste?
Love your web site and knowledge, plus you are easy on the eyes 😉
Thank you Dave!
Agree! I watched her video last week and then voala I made a butter nut bar! Since then I'm hooked! Thanks Anna!
Looks amazing 😋
For the Cream Filling-you said in video “1/2 cup of milk & 1/2 cup of whipping cream”. But, you poured 1 cup/8oz of whipping cream in the measuring cup. Recipe says 1/2 cup whipping cream. So do we use 1/2 cup or 1 cup? Please clarify as I’d like to try making this. Thanks!
Can you use all-purpose flour in place of the cake and pastry flour? I only have all-purpose flour.
\
Hi Anna...love your recipes.. especially the banana bread...for this recipe can we use only all purpose flour and vanilla essence..I don't have pastry flour
LOL Bostonians might come after you with pitchforks and torches for suggesting that the doughnut inspired the cake rather than the other way around.
amazing!!!
Love it , yummy
Thank you Saba!
...I really appreciate...
Hi Anna, we dont get cake n pastry flour v easily here, can we use all purpose flour itself?! Tks
What professional baker makes a ganache without a bit of corn syrup to make it shiny?
Anna I want all of your measuring glass jugs
Where can I buy it from...?
Excellent
Is the butter you add to your cream, also unsalted
Can I use only cake flour instead of pastry and cake flour. I can't find pastry and cake flour. Or there is any way I can make my own cake and pastry flour at home.i really want to try this recipe.
Cake flour is the same as cake/pastry flour.
Hi Anna, when do you add the the vegetable oil and corn syrup? I read it in your description but didn’t see it in the video
step no. 5 in the recipe... that you can find below the ingredients
I am also wondering, this step was not shown in the video. Is it nessasary ? What is the reasoning for having those 2 ingredients
Hi please tell us what is the best substitute for for eggs in your every recipe in the future thanks looking forward
I don't have pastry flour, how much cake flour to substitute for pastry and can I use all cake?
Yummy-Yummy or Lovely 😍😍
Hokeyy harikaaaa
تسلم ايديكي
Hi anna! I saw another recipe where they used melted butter instead of cool butter, but i've always trusted your recipes, so i was wondering what's the difference in using melted vs cool butter?
My one and the Only, my Fave, my inspirations in baking..
Anna olson will you marry me(joke😁)
I wanna be the male version of you😍🥰🥰..
Love from Manila PH🇵🇭
Yum!
Delicious 🤤
Thank you Angela!
Can we use a springform pan for the cake?
I want it and I love it❤
But are you going to make it? :)
I like your job Anna, hi from Iaq
Please Anna be my sister....love from Malaysia ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Don't do it Anna. I know this lady. She's Elya and she's a devil in disguise
Delicious yummy
Thank you!
Question; if you fouble the custard, will the cake be stable when cutting it
What would be a good substitute for the vanilla sauce? Would regular vanilla extract work?
Yes it comes in liquid and paste. Just make sure its a good quality. And. An extract. Not !!! Essence
Yummy
Oh Yummy! :)
who else is here during quarantine
Bloody YUM!!
Thank you!
,Love you Anna
Plz also make 3 milk cake
I love it♡♡♡
Thank you!
Two questions. First, how do you measure half a cup of butter? Secondly, where can I get printable versions of your recipes? Thanks.
Half a cup of butter is usually 115g. If you Google her recipes, it usually comes up on the food network Canada website.
Sa-eeda Daniels Thanks for your reply.
The recipe is in the description. We have the metric conversions listed there. Enjoy!
I love her recipes ❤ for some reason she scares me like on a Stern mom level 😂
Did you finish your homework?
Your homework being...making this cream pie!
@@ohyum 😂😂😂😂
@@terrimyrick1530 😂😂😂
I thought the same before until I saw her live videos then I saw her cool, easy going personality. 😊
Is this whole milk(homogenized as we call it in Canada) or 2%?
Hi, is there no need drizzle some sugar syrup on the cake before applying the filling?
Oh yum 😋
Exactly right Evan! :)
wow
You said it!
Love this channel Anna, one question, I never see corn syrup here in New Zealand, with what can I substitute?
Maple syrup or honey works, but you have to realize that the flavour will change depending on the substitute.
dekka cat I am from Nz as well, you can buy in most supermarkets in the Asian section also in every Chinese shop.
Glucose syrup/liquid glucose is a great substitute for corn syrup.
@@pranavc8020
Yes, corn syrup is pure glucose in fact.
