From what I have been told here in the US..Boston Cream Pie is technically a CAKE, but regardless...it's delicious. I like to freeze mine a bit before cutting and serving...eating it rather cold makes the Custard a tiny bit crunchy with the minute Ice Crystals that form in it!!😋
I think your end product looks AMAZING, Mrs. H! The switch from corn syrup to maple syrup will affect the thickness of the mirror glaze, it's a tiny bit firmer with corn syrup. But considering the switch you had to make, it came out so well. One would never know you had to switch, and switching things in baking is not easy! Great job! I'm still pushing for you three to try Gooey Butter Cake, which is a St. Louis thing. In fact... I'm gonna go get my mom's recipe and email it over to you. :D
It's not only the cook's privilege to taste the dabs it is their sworn duty to ensure that no poisons reach the table. You aren't sneaking, you're protecting your loved ones. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
I love that you encourage Elana consistently and in the “grown up” voice. You’re not only building confidence in that precious child but also trust. That trust will be important later in her life.
Oh heavens, Elana just keeps getting more and more adorable! I love her greeting and high five just like Daddy. She’s going to grow up to be a wonderful baker and cook thanks to your patience and gentle instructions Mummy! I love Boston Cream Pie!
I am still waiting for the day when Elana says "Quit your gibber jabberin' daddy... let's get on with the video!!" She loves to talk, and she is so smart.... I really enjoyed Thursday's video when she announced her daddy was home and went running toward the door... SO CUTE, It made my day!!! It brought back memories when I picked up my son at day care after working all day, he was always excited to see me, and I was excited to see him too... I miss those days, now he's 34 years old, they grow up too fast, enjoy Elana while she is this young, she will be a teenager before you know it ... but remember, it's a good thing you have a cat.... There's a saying that says "Dogs prepare you for babies and toddlers... " Cats prepare you for those teenage years... lol!! Good video today Mrs. H.... Boston Cream Pie is one of my favorites!! 😊❤😊❤😊❤
Elana's plate was clean at the end. She got busy with it.😁 The best part of cooking is when family and friends REALLY enjoy it and they're not just saying it to be nice. They show it by going back for more.....
When my Dad pushed his chair back from a clean plate, rubbed his stomach and said ‘I enjoyed that’, my Mom knew she had a winning recipe that would be used and used again because with that one, she didn’t just feed him, she made him happy (twice every day).
I'm so glad you've gotten hooked into America's Test Kitchen! I've been a viewer and a member for forty years. The good folks at Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen have made me the excellent cook I am today at 62 years old. I always look for recipes there first, and if I find what I'm looking for, I feel no need to look anywhere else. As they say, they make it 300 times so you don't have to.
Indeed. I find their laborious, persnickety recipes worth all the work. They always turn out deliciously right. Even the baked potato recipe is amazing.
I concur with the others. It's our favorite cook book - I don't think I've ever made anything "bad" from them. A few that weren't to our tastes, but not bad. Which is way better than most cookbooks. I'm in full drool mode when I watch the tv show. You can find episodes on youtube as well.
Just a quick fyi: Golden Syrup is probably the closest to corn syrup UK has. I often use golden syrup over corn syrup here in the states because I love the flavor of it over corn most of the time.
I was thinking she could alternatively make a simple syrup - just boiling sugar into water til it dissolved. (This is also the sweet basis of southern sweet tea, and is used often in cocktails).
@@heidifogelberg3544 I think simple syrup would be too runny....unless she boiled the heck out of it. Considering she has a good substitute easily bought...I'd skip the agony of waiting for syrup to boil down to the right viscosity.
In America I have found that teaching your kids comes down to 3 things. 1) take ur kids to the ballpark, 2) teach them how to fish, and 3) teach them how to cook. Everything else falls into place.
Hi from Los Angeles 🙋♀️ Good job on the Boston Cream Pie! Just a note, lacking corn syrup, you can sub Lyles Golden Syrup. Also, You have an American dessert, but those are British portions! Your cake slices should be twice that size to be authentic. 😁❤
Corm syrup is basically used as a sweetener like sugar. I would think that maple syrup, that has it's own unique flavor, would have changed the taste. Looked really good though. Good job!
@@ConstantChaos1 I would imagine that the maple taste would interfere with the vanilla of the cream and the chocolate flavor. No thank you! Maple doesn't play well with either one imho.
@NotKev2017 what? You're saying maple and vanilla/maple and chocolate don't blend well? Genuinely asking have you just never had maple syrup or something? If you don't like it that's one thing but those are famous pairings lmfao Chocolate, vanilla, and maple all do work together quite well (especially when you consider maple syrup literally contains vanillin, the chief flavor compound of vanilla) at least to most people. Have you ever had Chocolate chip pancakes with syrup? That's vanilla, chocolate, and maple Hot chocolate with pancakes on a cold winters morning on the slopes?
This Boston resident applauds your effort, well done, it looks great! If you ever do come to Boston, let me know! If you enjoy seafood, sports, history and just a fun vibe all around in a kind of Old World city, no better place to visit! 😊
How precious is Elana and you together in the kitchen?! Believe me, she will remember these times and it'll carry with her. I would cook or watch my grandma and my mother and present day, I pretty much insist the kitchen is the heart of my household 💕
Elana gets cuter and cuter, and I love watching her interest in food develop! I also love that you guys include her and teach her as well. It's such a joy to watch!
I enjoy watching you you doing the cooking. I’m terrible about baking because I’m just never confident about it. As always: Bloody love our Brits Mr. and Mrs. and Miss. Elana H. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Start with making bread. Just know going in you are going to have some failures. And everyone has been there. There is no shame in that. Also I say start with bread because if it fails you are only out very minimal cost of ingredients, Some flour, salt and yeast. As opposed to chocolate, fruits, nuts, butter, and expensive spices.
I love Boston Cream Pie so much...this was hard to watch. I'm drooling here in Florida. My whole family is from New England and it's one of our favorite desserts. Elana is a great co-host!
I am aware it is quite a good bit away from now, but i think it would be so cool if you guys celebrated Thanksgiving this year. It's a food holiday, inviting over family, setting up a whole extra table to fit all the people you love, and spending all morning in the kitchen making everything from scratch. It is personally my favorite holiday! Turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, super soft carrots, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, pumpkin pie, sweet potato casserole, dinner rolls, apple pie, roasted brussels sprouts, mac and cheese, baked corn, tell everyone to bring wine and pick up some sparkling apple juice for the kiddos to drink. Go around the table and express what you're truly thankful for in this life, toast and cheers for new memories, and take an hour-long break between dinner and dessert so everyone can have a chance to nap. It's a celebration worth trying out if you're able to give it 100% effort. I am positive if you asked us for recipes you would get a whole lot to choose from, make sure you do some research on proper cooking tools for making the dishes, I have a book of every kitchen tool/utensil and what it's use is, VERY GOOD PURCHASE!
I remember way back when Mrs H first came onto the channel with Mr H and seemed a bit subdued and camera shy. Look at you now though! Great stuff, H’s.
oh my lord 46 secs in and im broken. God never gave me a girl (3boys) because he knew my heart couldnt take one. granted you are blessed with the most precious one that could exist . my heart melts for you guys raise her right and may her heart never be broken. that said onward!
Ya'll don't know this, but I have an ongoing competition with myself as to who in the H family vid gets the like on a vid. Take a guess as to who gets the like most of the time nowadays. Love your vids. Love your family. If only every father could have a little girl that adores him as much as Baby H loves Mr. H. As soon as Baby H was on screen you could see it, and it has only gotten stronger since then. I'll say it again, such a beautiful family and thank you for letting us all intrude as you share in your journey. You are bringing happiness and smiles to all who watch H and Friends.
I bet you are becoming a star at all the get togethers with all the new recipe's Mrs. H...Another Great video, looks delicious...Thank you for sharing.
I love Boston Cream Pie! It's always been a favorite of mine. The doughnut is a bit greasy, which the pie is not. Rather than use maple syrup, use treacle. Amazon does sell corn syrup - use the light corn syrup. Have you made tea breads? They are cakes, fairly dense cakes, baked in a loaf pan. They tend to be less sweet than traditional cakes, they don't normally get frosted, and you slice them in generous slices. They're utterly delicious with a cup of tea! I like lemon poppy seed, zucchini bread, banana walnut or pecan bread, carrot walnut bread, blueberry bread, or cranberry pecan bread. You can use this as dessert OR slice a piece, toast it, and spread a bit of butter on it for breakfast. Yummy! Definitely try the tea breads!!!
substituting with maple syrup is actually a good idea! corn syrup is just adding sugary sweetness but no flavor. adding the maple syrup gives it a slight maple flavor, and maybe not quite so much sweetness. i was a bit worried that you would find it to sweet. we tend to over do the sweet here.
Whoa! You've done it again! You just made one of my favorite dishes, the hot brown, and now you've gone and made one of my all time favorite desserts. I love Boston Creme Pies and the donuts that are similar are so good. My late wife, rest her soul, would sometimes make one of these for my birthday. I'm not surprised you liked this one, it is awesome.
I do believe that you can use what you guys call Golden Syrup as a substitute for the corn syrup. I LOVE watching you guys making and enjoying our favorite foods!
Boston Creme pie is a delight! A large mouth piping bag would help out with the creme filling in the equal spreading next time, which I'm sure there will be a next time. Alana is being so helpful to mommy and is such a polite little girl!
That looked gorgeous a bit more "cream" than I normally use and I like a bittersweet chocolate ganache so you get the hints of bitter against the sweet cream and cake. This is my favorite cake ever since I was a child. Every year when my mother asked me what I wanted as my birthday cake it was a Boston Cream, the same with my older brother. Our family always called the spinning plate a lazy susan not sure about anyone else though.
Mrs H, that was a very professionally done Boston Cream. As always, you are very humble in your self deprecating comments of how it turns out. But as someone who is an avid viewer of Cooking with H I can say you've got technique. Carry on!
When i make Boston Cream Cakes sometimes i make a quick version of the cream that requires no stove top. It uses 2 cups heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks with ⅓ cup sugar, 1 tsp spoon of vanilla and 1 box of Instant vanilla pudding. If it is too stiff add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach desired consistency.
Oh my! That was a workout! I'm glad it was worth it. I've never been a big Boston Cream pie fan, but I bet yours was delicious! I can't get over how precious Alana is. So adorable and well behaved. She has fantastic parents. God bless you all. You're a blessing to Americans. 💞
Oh my gosh, Elana is a delight!!!❤ So many times, little kids just get in the way. But not Elana, she just adds so much to whatever is going on! Love this child!❤ And oh yeah, the Boston Cream Pie looks DELISH!!! Mrs. H's cooking has reached a new level! 10 outta 10!!! 👍🏼
I think the maple syrup is a thinner consistency than the corn syrup, which is why the ganache dripped down the side more quickly than it might have done otherwise. Also it would have slightly changed the taste a bit, but taste-wise it still would be delicious. 😊
That's a really good thing to do, taste, taste, taste through out the whole process, that way it's a sort of quality control and you can make sure all the flavors are on point through out the cook. Like a beef stew that you cook for a long time, the flavors will change from the beginning to the finished product. It's also a really good way to build up your pallet so you know what specific things are supposed to taste like. Also the Boston Cream donuts are basically like the eclairs you guys had in texas, except round, they are so good.
Aww, Elena is getting so big and she's such a good helper. I really enjoy watching her eat everything you cook, she enjoys everything , and so does Mr. H, lol
I love that he’s t-shirt says Rancho Cucamonga! I’ve been there several times and recently passed by it on the way to Las Vegas. It used to be called just Cucamonga but I guess someone running the city added Rancho to it. I used to live closer to the Southern California coast, south west of Los Angeles city, much further away from RC, it’s grown so much out there. 😁
Now that you know the recipe works, you can make and cool the cake while the pudding sets up. Then, make the ganache just before cake is cool. Saves lots of hours. Congratulations on your precious little girl. She is such a joy to watch!
Hello from Oklahoma!!! I really enjoy watching your videos, as food (baking moreso than cooking) is one of my passion. Alana is just way to adorable and I love how you encourage her and include her at such a young age. I can tell she will be a well-rounded force to be reckoned with when she's an adult.
Lots of hard work. FYI, corn syrup has more of a consistency like honey & is thicker than maple syrup so chocolate topping will be a bit runny if using maple syrup. Looks like it turned out well.
I grew up around Boston. The reason early on the cake for this recipe was made in a pie tin, was that very few American households had cake pans in the late 1800s, but everyone had a pie tin.
Boston Cream Pie is one of my all time favorites! Corn syrup is typically a substitute for sugar. . . I’d imagine that the substitution for maple syrup would not be 1:1. Also, the taste of maple syrup is definitely recognizable (not in a bad way, but distinctively “maple” - and not what a Boston Cream Pie classically tastes like). That being said, I’m sure it was delicious! Who does not love maple? I can’t wait to try it!
Forgetting to add a bit of vanilla to the cake just lets the cream and chocolate flavors shine more. It does help boost the flavor in the cream though so since you enjoyed it you should definitely not forget it next time, lol. I, personally would have added only about half the amount of syrup to the chocolate though. It would have made it just slightly less runny and stayed a bit better on top. That said, you did a fantastic job, especially for a first attempt. Well done! 👏🏼😁 BTW, Elana is just getting more and more adorable by the day. Such a wonderful little lady you're raising there! 🥰

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE DESSERTS EVER MADE!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your videos and adventures.
👍🙂❤️

It’s true. We must protect at all cost. 😂
“Quality control” is my excuse…
ABSOLUTELY cook’s privilege!
❤ 😂😂😂

Baby H is very lucky. Everyone has a mother, but only a few are fortunate enough to have a mommy.
Absolutely.
I sure hope it's more than a few!
So true and yes she has a Mommy who is teaching her great things. She has wonderful manners.
I love that you encourage Elana consistently and in the “grown up” voice. You’re not only building confidence in that precious child but also trust. That trust will be important later in her life.
Oh heavens, Elana just keeps getting more and more adorable! I love her greeting and high five just like Daddy. She’s going to grow up to be a wonderful baker and cook thanks to your patience and gentle instructions Mummy! I love Boston Cream Pie!
I am still waiting for the day when Elana says "Quit your gibber jabberin' daddy... let's get on with the video!!" She loves to talk, and she is so smart.... I really enjoyed Thursday's video when she announced her daddy was home and went running toward the door... SO CUTE, It made my day!!! It brought back memories when I picked up my son at day care after working all day, he was always excited to see me, and I was excited to see him too... I miss those days, now he's 34 years old, they grow up too fast, enjoy Elana while she is this young, she will be a teenager before you know it ... but remember, it's a good thing you have a cat....
There's a saying that says
"Dogs prepare you for babies and toddlers... "
Cats prepare you for those teenage years... lol!!
Good video today Mrs. H.... Boston Cream Pie is one of my favorites!! 😊❤😊❤😊❤

Little Elana has the best manners. You two are doing an excellent job raising her right!
Baby H is going to be such a good cook when she gets older. She gets so excited by trying and making. Perfect
If she ever marries an American she will know how to cook for him😂
When I was a kid it was one of my top favorites. I still love it so much!
Deservedly so, Mrs. H had such a look of pride on her face after that first bite, lol.
I just that smug look in Mrs H face. Just a “ya I made this. Excellent again”. Hehe
Elana brings joy to my heart. ❤ she is so sweet.

Great idea! Much closer substitute. I think the maple is too strong and changes the dish's flavor too much.
That looks so good to eat
Saying Hello to herself was the greatest.😊
In America I have found that teaching your kids comes down to 3 things. 1) take ur kids to the ballpark, 2) teach them how to fish, and 3) teach them how to cook. Everything else falls into place.
So true. I had small issues with fishing. My kid only wanted to noodle. But at least it was Minnows And she is good at it lol
Boston cream pie. My favorite dessert. Cake, pudding, chocolate all in one.
She's precious
Well done! You have such dedication and your cooking and baking will just get better and better. So happy for you. Elana is just precious too🥰🥰🥰
America's test kitchen is an amazing cookbook.
I love how you include Elana in the cooking!❤ I started cooking with my mom about her age. She is such a delight😊
Also, I love your hair😊

Boston cream pie is far and away my favorite dessert. Its like a giant Bavarian Donut. so so good
Elana is such a doll, she gets cuter with each new video. Greetings to Elana🥰
I have enjoyed watching baby H grow up!! She is such a joy to watch 😊
It is actually the cooks duty to taste the food before serving to ensure a quality product.
I think you guys do a damn good job and the little one is still cute as a bugs ear
So Awesome to hear y’all’s channel has afforded you to be a Stay at Home Mum!!!🥰🙏

Thanks for sharing your videos and adventures.

I got a feeling that you’re going to make this more often by the smiles on Y’all’s faces.
Alana waiving her hands in joy after she finished her slice. 😊🙌🏾
So thrilled to see folks outside the USA getting to try the best dishes - those home made. You don't need to be at some terrible chain place.
I’ll have you fine people know I just ate some BBQ from where I live, Fredericksburg, TEXAS! 😋
Just keeping you in our memories. 🍻🇬🇧🇺🇸
I'm sure it tasted so good too. I'm jealous
I enjoy watching you you doing the cooking. I’m terrible about baking because I’m just never confident about it. As always:
Bloody love our Brits Mr. and Mrs. and Miss. Elana H. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Go around the table and express what you're truly thankful for in this life, toast and cheers for new memories, and take an hour-long break between dinner and dessert so everyone can have a chance to nap. It's a celebration worth trying out if you're able to give it 100% effort. I am positive if you asked us for recipes you would get a whole lot to choose from, make sure you do some research on proper cooking tools for making the dishes, I have a book of every kitchen tool/utensil and what it's use is, VERY GOOD PURCHASE!
I remember way back when Mrs H first came onto the channel with Mr H and seemed a bit subdued and camera shy. Look at you now though! Great stuff, H’s.
I'm in my happy place in the kitchen
Greetings from Michigan. I really enjoy your videos.Another great job.
I'm impressed with the H family's cooking skills.
oh my lord 46 secs in and im broken. God never gave me a girl (3boys) because he knew my heart couldnt take one. granted you are blessed with the most precious one that could exist . my heart melts for you guys raise her right and may her heart never be broken. that said onward!
❤️
Watching you and the ever adorable Elana from Illinois USA ❤
Tries a foreign recipie, substitues one ingredient, somehow makes it better.
Ya'll don't know this, but I have an ongoing competition with myself as to who in the H family vid gets the like on a vid. Take a guess as to who gets the like most of the time nowadays. Love your vids. Love your family. If only every father could have a little girl that adores him as much as Baby H loves Mr. H. As soon as Baby H was on screen you could see it, and it has only gotten stronger since then.
I'll say it again, such a beautiful family and thank you for letting us all intrude as you share in your journey. You are bringing happiness and smiles to all who watch H and Friends.
What a lovely comment ! Thank you so much ❤️
@@MrhandfriendsNo, thank you. You are appreciated good family.
As a mother you will so cherish these moments...they grow up so quickly!
I bet you are becoming a star at all the get togethers with all the new recipe's Mrs. H...Another Great video, looks delicious...Thank you for sharing.
Missouri here. We are known as the Show-me-state. You could also make a light syrup with sugar and water. It's really easy to make.
I love Boston Cream Pie! It's always been a favorite of mine. The doughnut is a bit greasy, which the pie is not.
Rather than use maple syrup, use treacle. Amazon does sell corn syrup - use the light corn syrup.
Have you made tea breads? They are cakes, fairly dense cakes, baked in a loaf pan. They tend to be less sweet than traditional cakes, they don't normally get frosted, and you slice them in generous slices. They're utterly delicious with a cup of tea! I like lemon poppy seed, zucchini bread, banana walnut or pecan bread, carrot walnut bread, blueberry bread, or cranberry pecan bread. You can use this as dessert OR slice a piece, toast it, and spread a bit of butter on it for breakfast. Yummy!
Definitely try the tea breads!!!
And apple bread, pumpkin bread, pineapple bread...
I love the cooled banana bread with a thick layer of butter. Nom!
As a lifelong Bostonian, I am very impressed with how good that looks!
substituting with maple syrup is actually a good idea! corn syrup is just adding sugary sweetness but no flavor. adding the maple syrup gives it a slight maple flavor, and maybe not quite so much sweetness. i was a bit worried that you would find it to sweet. we tend to over do the sweet here.
Your daughter is absolutely adorable!!!!!! You are raising her right supermom!!!!
Omg 😅this my absolute favorite dessert!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!!
Test kitchen recipes are definitely bulletproof. I also have their book and watch all their shows.
Whoa! You've done it again! You just made one of my favorite dishes, the hot brown, and now you've gone and made one of my all time favorite desserts. I love Boston Creme Pies and the donuts that are similar are so good. My late wife, rest her soul, would sometimes make one of these for my birthday. I'm not surprised you liked this one, it is awesome.
I do believe that you can use what you guys call Golden Syrup as a substitute for the corn syrup. I LOVE watching you guys making and enjoying our favorite foods!
Boston Creme pie is a delight! A large mouth piping bag would help out with the creme filling in the equal spreading next time, which I'm sure there will be a next time. Alana is being so helpful to mommy and is such a polite little girl!
What a wonderful gift to be able to share great new food and memories with family! BLY! I hope you take in Boston someday!
Baby H is growing so fast. Her vocabulary is getting bigger too, ✌️
Elana help to make the cake so it’s perfectly acceptable for her to try it early. I think it was a 10 from her she ate it all! 😋
Elana is a doll! Great job on the Boston Creme!!
I love it when I see people trying new things. I'm also glad you are enjoying it.
That looked gorgeous a bit more "cream" than I normally use and I like a bittersweet chocolate ganache so you get the hints of bitter against the sweet cream and cake. This is my favorite cake ever since I was a child. Every year when my mother asked me what I wanted as my birthday cake it was a Boston Cream, the same with my older brother. Our family always called the spinning plate a lazy susan not sure about anyone else though.
I’ve also always had it with bittersweet chocolate, and about half that much pastry cream. But it still looked delicious.
@@AnnieDC304 Agreed
Another great video and fun reaction. Thanks, guys. 👍👍
You DID NOT mess up,you made it yours.Cooks privilege to do variations in recipes.
One of my all time favorites…Alana you are a beautiful little girl and growing up so fast 🤗❤️
Maine here !!!! I would like to see you make a New England Boiled Dinner
Being from Massachusetts I agree!!!mmmmmm
And make sure you use Alton Brown's recipe for corned beef - it's delicious!
Mrs H, that was a very professionally done Boston Cream. As always, you are very humble in your self deprecating comments of how it turns out. But as someone who is an avid viewer of Cooking with H I can say you've got technique. Carry on!
Aww thank you
When i make Boston Cream Cakes sometimes i make a quick version of the cream that requires no stove top. It uses 2 cups heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks with ⅓ cup sugar, 1 tsp spoon of vanilla and 1 box of Instant vanilla pudding. If it is too stiff add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach desired consistency.
Oh my! That was a workout! I'm glad it was worth it. I've never been a big Boston Cream pie fan, but I bet yours was delicious!
I can't get over how precious Alana is. So adorable and well behaved. She has fantastic parents. God bless you all. You're a blessing to Americans. 💞
There's the high 5 we all know and love !!!
Elana be like you 2 talk imma eat
The best corn syrup substitutes for baking are brown rice syrup, maple syrup, agave, tapioca syrup, honey, golden syrup, and black treacle.
I love you growth in both confidence in the kitchen and your presentation. Bravo
Oh my gosh, Elana is a delight!!!❤ So many times, little kids just get in the way. But not Elana, she just adds so much to whatever is going on! Love this child!❤ And oh yeah, the Boston Cream Pie looks DELISH!!! Mrs. H's cooking has reached a new level! 10 outta 10!!! 👍🏼
I think the maple syrup is a thinner consistency than the corn syrup, which is why the ganache dripped down the side more quickly than it might have done otherwise. Also it would have slightly changed the taste a bit, but taste-wise it still would be delicious. 😊
That's a really good thing to do, taste, taste, taste through out the whole process, that way it's a sort of quality control and you can make sure all the flavors are on point through out the cook. Like a beef stew that you cook for a long time, the flavors will change from the beginning to the finished product. It's also a really good way to build up your pallet so you know what specific things are supposed to taste like. Also the Boston Cream donuts are basically like the eclairs you guys had in texas, except round, they are so good.
Elana is growing so FAST! It seems like yesterday Mrs. H was still expecting!
Aww, Elena is getting so big and she's such a good helper. I really enjoy watching her eat everything you cook, she enjoys everything , and so does Mr. H, lol
I love that he’s t-shirt says Rancho Cucamonga! I’ve been there several times and recently passed by it on the way to Las Vegas. It used to be called just Cucamonga but I guess someone running the city added Rancho to it. I used to live closer to the Southern California coast, south west of Los Angeles city, much further away from RC, it’s grown so much out there. 😁
Now that you know the recipe works, you can make and cool the cake while the pudding sets up. Then, make the ganache just before cake is cool. Saves lots of hours. Congratulations on your precious little girl. She is such a joy to watch!
Hello from Oklahoma!!! I really enjoy watching your videos, as food (baking moreso than cooking) is one of my passion. Alana is just way to adorable and I love how you encourage her and include her at such a young age. I can tell she will be a well-rounded force to be reckoned with when she's an adult.
Lots of hard work. FYI, corn syrup has more of a consistency like honey & is thicker than maple syrup so chocolate topping will be a bit runny if using maple syrup. Looks like it turned out well.
Shoutout from Utah
I grew up around Boston. The reason early on the cake for this recipe was made in a pie tin, was that very few American households had cake pans in the late 1800s, but everyone had a pie tin.
Boston Cream Pie is one of my all time favorites! Corn syrup is typically a substitute for sugar. . . I’d imagine that the substitution for maple syrup would not be 1:1. Also, the taste of maple syrup is definitely recognizable (not in a bad way, but distinctively “maple” - and not what a Boston Cream Pie classically tastes like). That being said, I’m sure it was delicious! Who does not love maple? I can’t wait to try it!
So far, you are making it perfect. Boston Cream Pie takes a little time to make, but so worth it.
Forgetting to add a bit of vanilla to the cake just lets the cream and chocolate flavors shine more. It does help boost the flavor in the cream though so since you enjoyed it you should definitely not forget it next time, lol. I, personally would have added only about half the amount of syrup to the chocolate though. It would have made it just slightly less runny and stayed a bit better on top. That said, you did a fantastic job, especially for a first attempt. Well done! 👏🏼😁
BTW, Elana is just getting more and more adorable by the day. Such a wonderful little lady you're raising there! 🥰
Excellent, so glad you are trying American recipes. You are an inspiration. Thank you
I'm from Idaho...And this is my favorite dessert ever... 💛
