Boston Cream Pie
"Boston Cream Pie is a classic cake (yes not a pie) made with a sponge cake base filled with rich vanilla custard and a chocolate ganache coating on top. This is a classic flavour combination for a reason. The butter cake is light and fluffy and pairs perfectly with the creamy custard and rich chocolate glaze, If you love classic custard and chocolate together then please give this a try...."
