Boston cream pie layer cake - light vanilla cake filled with pastry cream and topped with dark chocolate ganache !
This cake needs to be refrigerated and tastes good for atleast 4 days.
To make the most of your time , make the cake. As the cake bakes, you can make the pastry cream. Prepare the simple syrup before assembling the cake and the ganache as the cake chills after the crumb coat.
The simple syrup and whipping cream is optional.
My measuring cup is 240 ml.
The finished cake weighs about 1 kg or a little more.
