Low-Fat Boston Cream Pie image

You would never guess that this is low-fat! My whole family loves this dessert, and I enjoy making it for them bacause I know that not only does it taste good, it won't wreck your diet either! It seems like a lot of work, but it's really not too bad because you make the filling and glaze while the cake is baking, and then all you have left is the assembly. Oh, it is SOOO worth the effort!!(prep time includes refigeration)

I made a few substitutions to this recipe (used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and maple syrup instead of sugar) and it turned out great.
