Desert anyone?


Eli's favorite desert for Thanksgiving is a Boston Cream Pie. Well as my luck would have it, NOBODY makes them anymore. I couldn't buy one to save my life. When I was complaining to my mom about this she said, you know if it's your husband's favorite you should just learn to make it. So this year I decided to try. Did you know that Boston Cream Pie isn't a pie but really a cake? All the recipies online seemed easy enough but when Iwould read the comments people would just say how hard it was and that they had tried multiple times and never could get it to work. I was getting a little discouraged, then I found a comment that said the hard part is getting the cake to rise and she just uses a yellow cake mix. So we tried it and with a little trouble with the ganoche (just a little thick due to too much heat) it turned out pretty good. It tasted amazing, Eli has already requested one for his birhday.
