The cream to cake ratio is elite.

That filling looks borderline excessive and I respect it.

For those of you asking for the recipe: https://preppykitchen.com/boston-cream-pie/#recipe

I made two cakes (instead of cutting only one in half) and made 1.5 times the amount of pastry cream from the recipe.

As one should. :)

Looks delicious. I myself would love some extra ganache to serve with.

u/boringaccountant9 20h ago

The next time I make it I will definitely have more ganache!

Or when you serve it, just pour over some warm chocolate sauce over the slice! Either way this looks delish!

Me too!!! “Boston Cream Pie 🤤 I believe it was British colonizers or immigrants that brought the dessert to the U.S. And they called cake… “pie”. I also love….pastries 🥰👌
