Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or 1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
3 to 4 tablespoons water
1 cup powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Place an egg separator over a small bowl. Crack open 1 egg over the egg separator to seperate the yolk from the white; then separate the other egg. (Save the whites for another recipe.) In a small bowl, place the yolks. Beat the egg yolks with a fork or wire whisk until mixed. Stir in 1 1/2 cups milk; set aside.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, stir 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch and 1/8 teaspoon salt until mixed. Gradually stir egg mixture into sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Press plastic wrap on surface of filling to prevent a tough layer from forming on top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until set but no longer than 24 hours. While filling is chilling, continue with recipe.
  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray just the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with baking spray with flour.
  • In a large bowl, beat all cake ingredients with an electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, stopping frequently to scrape batter from side and bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat on high speed 3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape bowl. Pour batter into the pan; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl, spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.
  • Bake about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a cooling rack 20 minutes, then remove onto cooling rack to finish cooling completely, about 1 hour.
  • In a 1-quart saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter and the chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in 1-cup glass measuring cup, microwave the water uncovered on High 15 to 30 seconds or until hot. Remove chocolate mixture from heat. Stir in the powdered sugar and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in 3 tablespoons hot water. Stir in additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until icing is smooth and thin enough to spread.
  • To split cake horizontally in half, mark middle points around side of cake with toothpicks. Using toothpicks as a guide, cut through the cake with a long, sharp knife, using a back-and-forth motion. On a serving plate, place bottom layer with the cut side up. Spread filling over bottom layer. Top with top of cake, cut side down.
  • Spread glaze over top of cake, using a metal spatula or back of a spoon, letting some glaze drizzle down side of cake. Refrigerate uncovered until serving. Store any remaining cake covered in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you begin baking, ensure that all ingredients and tools are measured, prepared, and organized. This will make the baking process smoother and less stressful.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: For optimal results, bring ingredients like eggs, butter, and cream cheese to room temperature before mixing. This will help them blend more evenly and create a smooth batter.
  • Properly Measure Ingredients: Use accurate measuring tools to ensure precise measurements. This is especially important for baking, as even slight variations can affect the outcome.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Take your time creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
  • Folding Ingredients: When incorporating dry ingredients into the wet mixture, use a gentle folding motion to avoid overmixing. Overmixing can result in a dense and tough cake.
  • Baking Times and Temperatures: Strictly adhere to the recipe's specified baking times and temperatures. Underbaking can result in a raw or gooey cake, while overbaking can dry it out.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and adherence to these tips, you can create a delectable Boston Cream Cake that will impress your family and friends. The combination of moist sponge cake, creamy custard filling, and rich chocolate ganache is a classic that never fails to delight. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe provides a reliable guide to achieving a stunning and delicious Boston Cream Cake.
