Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 ½ cups sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes cool, prepare the pastry cream: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup milk, ½ cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 egg yolks and vanilla extract.
- Let the pastry cream cool completely.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops with a serrated knife if necessary. Place one cake layer on a serving plate.
- Spread the pastry cream evenly over the cake layer.
- Top with the second cake layer.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.
- Refrigerate the Sweet Boston Cream Pie for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the ganache to set.
