carol's boston cream pie
I actually used 3 recipes to make this cake . My family all love it and it is so easy to make and looks amazing when you serve it. I think the secret is in the filling . It is so so good I normally eat some of it like pudding.This filling is also great for Coconut Cream Pie and Banana cream Pie - and it would make great Cream Puffs !
