Boston Cream Pie | My Dad's FAVORITE Cake!

- While it has the word pie in its name, Boston cream pie is simply a yellow cake with pastry cream in the middle and a chocolate ganache spread on top. The richness of the chocolate ganache is tempered when combined with the moist, tender yellow cake and the lightly sweet pastry cream, creating an all-around satisfying dessert. Whether it's made for a special occasion or any day of the week, you'll love this cake.

INGREDIENTS
For the yellow cake:
10 tbsp butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large egg yolks
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp neutral oil
For the pastry cream:
4 egg yolks
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp butter cold
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the chocolate ganache:
4 oz chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
For the cake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, fit with parchment in the bottom, and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl. With the mixer running on low, add the egg yolks and eggs one at a time until each one is mixed in. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
In a small measuring glass, whisk the buttermilk, vanilla, and oil.
With the mixer running on low, add ⅓ of the dry mixture followed by ½ of the milk mixture. Allow to incorporate and repeat the steps, finishing with the final ⅓ of the dry mixture.
Divide the cake batter between the two cake pans and smooth out to an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, 24-26 minutes.
Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven. Allow the cakes low to cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Once slightly cooled, remove the cakes from the pans, discard the parchment paper, and cool completely on a wire rack.
For the pastry cream:
In a 4-quart saucepan, combine the egg yolks, milk, sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Set the mixture over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Continue to whisk until mixture is thick with bubbles forming, 6-8 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the pastry cream from the heat. Add the butter and vanilla. Whisk until the butter dissolves and immediately push through a sieve. Allow the pastry cream to cool. I find this best to make the day before and store in the refrigerator.
For the ganache:
Chop the chocolate into fine, uniform pieces and pour them into a small bowl. Heat the heavy cream until it's steaming and almost boiling. Once the cream is steaming, immediately pour the cream over the prepared chocolate. Allow the chocolate and cream to rest for 5 minutes.
Once the mixture has rested, slowly stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. As the ganache cools, it will thicken.
To assemble the cake:
Place a room temperature or cool layer of cake on a serving platter. Spread the chilled pastry cream over one layer of the cake, staying about ½-inch from the edge. Place the second layer on top of the pastry cream. Pour the ganache over the top layer. If the ganache is too thick, heat for a few seconds in the microwave. Allow the ganache to slightly drip down the sides. Serve immediately.

From my farm to your home. 🏡
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. wyseguide.com
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
You can print the recipe here: www.wyseguide.com/boston-cream-pie/
Eating all thar rich delicious food how do you stay in such amazing shape? Must be all that farm work!
A tip for you: When you chop chocolate, use a serrated knife as it goes through the chocolate more evenly than a straight edge blade.
I showed my husband your video. He and his dad loved Boston cream pie. I was always afraid to make it because I thought it difficult. Here I am at 68 and going to now make it for my dear husband of 48 years and all because of you. You took the fear away. THANK YOU KALEB. ❤️
Hope your cake turned out well and your husband loved it! I am 66 and have never attempted one either!😂
I am so sorry you lost your father at such a young age.
My Dad's favorite was also Boston Cream. I lost him in February, so this is my first Father's Day without him. I am making this today in honor of the best dad on the planet. 💔
You made me choke up and cry. My dad's favorite was this Boston cream pie. As a child I made it for him. There was a kit from the cake mix company. Betty Crocker I think. He also loved any baked goods I made as his mother made them and my mom didn't. He was also always edging cookies all around a bowl of ice cream. He died in 1998.
What a wonderful and beautiful way to remember your dad! 💙
Boston cream pie was the first real, from scratch cake that I made for my dad many many years ago, as it was his favorite also. My dad is gone 30 years, but watching you make this dessert and talk about your dad brought back many memories for me . Thank you❤️
That's my husband's favorite cake thank you so much for posting this recipe. He's going to be so surprised cuz he's going to work tomorrow and he'll come home to a nice dinner and some homemade Boston cream pie thanks to you. And my Dad is in heaven also and his birthday was on the 15th so we always had a big huge birthday/father's day celebration for my Dad.
My father always made Boston Creme Pie using sliced bananas on top of the pastry creme and then covering the bananas with whipping creme before adding the top Boston Creme Pie cake layer. Once the top cake layer was on top then the Boston Creme Pie top was also covered with whipped creme (instead of chocolate). Our father had to improvise since chocolate was hard to get at the local grocery stores in our small rural town.
I enjoy your videos very much! Your energy and personality is beautiful. Thank you for brightening my days.
I am with you
Raining 🌧! Grateful for the rain although praying for so many that need a safe home. Also time for Boston Creme Pie! One of my Mom's favorite 😍 ❤️ 💕.
🎂💖 I just successfully baked your Boston Cream Pie and it turned out beautifully! Thank you for producing such a helpful video to make this delicious cake!
I worked for a bakery in 1986-87? Can't remember exactly but we made Boston cream pies. Well we just took them out of the freezer. I have liked them ever since then. I'm sure this one is way better!! Will have to give this a try 😊
My father also passed away in March of 2004, a week before my 40th birthday. It's been a little over 20 years. I wish I had the recipes from him, chocolate cake, beer bread and chow chow.
I get creampies wherever I go, but Boston is definitely the best!
ayooo
My nana loves you're videos❤❤❤
This was a favorite of my dad. It brought some nice memories for me. Thank you!
This was my grammy's favorite desert, thank you for sharing this, and bringing back so many wonderful memories of her, and being in the kitchen with her. ❤
Thank you for sharing the wonderful memory of your dad. I would love a huge slice of Pie to go with a coffee. YUM.
Your channel is so inspiring!! Thanks for the great content 💜☘️
I haven’t thought about this dessert in years, and now I’m trying to figure out when to make it! Thanks for the recipe, video, and inspiration. While vanilla is ALWAYS a good choice, sometimes I use a wee bit of brewed coffee (strong) or even instant coffee grounds (gasp!) in chocolate frosting or ganache. That also enhances the chocolate flavor. I leaned it from Ina Garten, although I bet that trick predates her.
Beautiful in its simplicity, and I know it’s delicious. All of your recipes are delicious!
Cookbook cookbook! I love all your videos and tips and tricks.
My absolute favorite! Best I ever had was at Legal Seafood at Boston Logan airport. Thank you SO much!! Love your recipes!!
Oh my Gosh! This looks so good! I love the way you explain all the steps and give us all the details we need without being too winded. Thank you!!
Great and easy recipe. My husband turns 75 on 8/5 so I will make this for him. He loves Boston Crème Pie. Thank you❤️🌼
One of my favorite cakes. Thanks for sharing on this special holiday. I am sure your dad is beaming watching you from those heavenly kitchen floors.
My husband loves Boston Cream Pie! He watched the video ... he says the cream looks perfect! Your video has been sent to my daughter as she is the official family baker (I cook). Thank you so much for this video

One of my all time favorite cakes

You did make that look doable. Just beautiful.
yuuuumm. i likey boston cream pie.
Wow. I made this today and it’s terrific. Thanks for posting! Only thing I did different was cover the sides completely with the chocolate ganache. We are a small family and covering the sides completely keeps the cake fresher in between servings.
You are a good host. Thank you for sharing.

Yummmm, you need a big glass of cold 🥛 with that piece!!
Boston Cream Pie, also my Dad's favorite😉
Thank you so much!
Quick question... is it OK to serve the following day or will it be to dry? I was hoping to make it this evening and serve it to guests tomorrow.. thank you!
Hi Kaleb,
Quick question…why don’t you mix the eggs before you put them in the creamed sugar instead of putting them in one at a time?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Love your channel
🤗👍🏻
What is a good chocolate to use?
This guy is so cute and talented, I wish he was my BF!! May your daddy RIP 🪦 You are a very sweet guy and that looked awesome and sure it tastes delectable!!
Am doing it ! .........One of this days could we have a tour of your lovely kitchen?
I was taught from my mother to turn turn the first layer upside down. This makes the top flat. That way you don’t have to cut any of the cake off to level it.
Yummy 😋
Yum!
😋yum!
YUM!!
My dad died in 2017 and Boston Cream Pie was also his favorite.
Yum it makes me hungry...LOl
👀 good! ✅
I have always made pastry cream this way (“breaking the rules”), and I have always wonder why they don’t do it! It’s so easy and fool proof!
❤❤❤
You don't fool us. You run the pastry cream through a sieve so you can reserve a little to eat for yourself 😄.
💙

هل بامكانك وضع المقادير كامله تحياتي والسلام 🇸🇦🕊️
😢😢😢😢😢😢
The ingredients are in the video description! 🌞
Can't print at the store and how hard would it be to just give the amounts needed also instead of just a list of ingredients and instructions. It's such a pain to get a recipe nowadays
Can someone please give me full recipe in grams?
The King Arthur Baking Company’s website has a great conversation chart.
I think cake batter looks so silky
No oil.
You out did yourself
Yummy!
