Boston Cream Pie Its One Wicked Pissah of a Cake
Im so glad I cant do a decent Boston accent, otherwise this video recipe for Boston cream pie would have probably been really annoying because I would have done the entire voiceover in it.This is my quick and easy version of Bostons Parker House Hotels famous cake. Why is it called a pie? Your guess is as good as mine, but what I do know is that a real Boston cream pie is comprised of two layers of sponge cake, not a yellow cake from a boxed mix.
So technically this is only two-thirds of a Boston cream pie, but trust me, its the most important two-thirds. In the video, I joke about the cake in this recipe simply acting as a pastry cream and chocolate ganache delivery system. I wasnt joking.A Boston cream pie is all about the cream and ganache. In fact, heres a tip in case you want to take that idea and run with it – instead of two cakes, just use one. Use a long, serrated knife to split the cake in two, and proceed with the recipe as shown.
By the way, in a testament to just how busy I am, I completely forgot to mention those hairless hands youll see stirring, whisking, and pouring, belong to my wife – the lovely and talented Michele.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
yellow cake mix, prepared according to directions
For the pastry cream:
1/2 tbsp butter

big pinch of salt

4 ounces high-quality dark chocolate, preferably bittersweet
1/2 cup cream
1 teaspoon butter

Vegetable Pie with Cornbread Topping
I didnt have any kidney beans so I had to use chick peas, which were fine, but I do think that kidney or black beans would be better. They would help give it a bit more of that southwestern quality. You can also use whatever seasonings for the vegetables that you like, but I do think you want cumin and a little bit of heat.
4 to 6 servings
1 1/2 hours - 45 minutes prep time
Start the Topping:
1/2 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup buttermilk or milk
1 extra-large egg
3 tablespoons mild vegetable oil
2/3 cup soft unbleached or whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
Put the cornmeal, buttermilk, egg and oil into a mixing bowl and mix until well blended. Set aside.
Measure the flour and mix in the salt and baking powder. Set aside.
Prepare the Vegetables:
2 cups cooked kidney or other beans
2 large tomatoes
3 cobs of corn
1 medium zucchini
1 medium red pepper
1 medium onion
1 tablespoon mild vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, ground
Louisiana-style hot sauce, chile powder or chile-garlic sauce to taste
salt to taste
Drain the beans and put them in the bottom of a small lasagne pan (8" x 11"). Peel and dice the tomatoes, and sprinkle them over the beans. Husk the corn, and cut off the kernels. Sprinkle them over the beans and tomatoes.
Wash and trim the zucchini and pepper (discard stem and seeds), and cut them in dice. Peel and dice the onion.
Heat the oil in a large skillet, and sauté the zucchini, onion and pepper until soft and slightly browned. Sprinkle over the seasonings and mix in well. Mix the sautéed vegetables in with the beans etcetera in the pan, and spread them out evenly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Finish the Pie:
Mix the flour into the wet ingredients for the cornbread topping. Spread the batter evenly over the prepared vegetables.
Bake the pie for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is set and golden.
Last year at this time I made Lentil & Eggplant Salad.

Best Pumpkin Pie Ever – Come for the Pie Stay for the Dollop
However, it’s probably not a bad idea to hedge your bets and serve a pumpkin pie so tasty and texturally perfect that no matter what goes wrong, everyone will leave with a smile on their face, and a delicious memory in their heart. By the way, this is that pie.
After many years of experimentation, I’ve finally perfected what I think is the ideal formula. As I mention in the video, I’ve removed an egg white, and replaced it with some additional yolks. This results in a pie that’s not only richer, but also much less likely to crack.
Once the world sees the slow-mo magic that is the old, “twist, three-thrusts, and a pull,” I’m assuming she’ll be out of business in no time. That’s right, now anyone will be able to do magazine-quality dollops like a boss (and by boss, I mean overpaid food stylist).
