Another Pie

Its been quite some time. Again I was procrastinating writing. So here's the latest...
I dont know why its called Boston Cream Pie, but its a very good cake err... pie. Whatever. Its delicious and creamy, courtesy the vanilla custard put in between the cakes.
Ingredients:
Pastry Cream/Custard:
1/4 cup sugar

3 large egg yolks

1/8 cup flour

3 tbsp corn flour
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
25 gm butter
150 ml whipped cream
Sponge Cake:
5 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
140 gm flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp milk
2 tbsp butter
Chocolate Glaze:
4 ounces (120 gms) semi sweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream
1 tsp unsalted butter

Method:
Pastry Cream:

1. In a bowl mix together sugar and egg yolks. Sift the flour and corn flour together and add to the egg mixture and mix till you get a smooth paste. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, bring milk just to a boil. Pour the milk slowly into the egg mixture whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
3. Pour the egg mixture into a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until boiling whisking constantly. When it boils, continue to whisk till it becomes thick. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla extract.Pour into a clean bowl and immediately cover the surface with plastic wrap to keep crust from forming. Cool in the fridge.

Sponge Cake:

1. Butter and line 2 cake tins.
2. Separate 3 cold eggs. Add the remaining 2 eggs into the yolks.
3. Mix flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Warm milk and butter together till butter melts.
5. Beat the yolks with 6 tbsp sugar on high speed till thick, fluffy and light coloured. Then beat in vanilla.
6. Beat egg whites till foamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar and beat till soft peaks form. Fold into the egg batter.
7. Fold in the flour. Do not overmix.
8. Pour in the melted butter-milk mixture and mix gently.
9. Divide batter between 2 pans and bake for 18 to 20 mins or till light brown. Cool Completely.

Chocolate Glaze:

1. Place the chopped chocolate into a bowl. Bring cream and butter just to a boil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
2. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 mins.. Stir till smooth. Set aside until it has thickened to pouring consistency.
3. Assemble the cake.

The cake is very fluffy and soft so you have to be careful while transferring it from one surface to the other.
Enjoy!!
