You are going to have 3 steps. It looks more time consuming then it is. I promise.Step One- Cake:
1 C. sugar
1/3 C. Shortening
1. egg
1 teaspoon of Vanilla
1-1/4 C. Flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 C. Milk
Beat sugar and shortening till fluffy, Blend in eggs & vanilla. Add the rest of dry ingrediants beat..then add milk.Beat again until well mixed.
Pour into a well floured & Greased 9 inch round cake pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-35 min.( toothpick test it.)
Cool in pan for 10 min, then cool on rack till completely cool.
( while cake is baking)
Step Two-Creme Filling:
2 egg yolks in a bowl set aside.slightly beaten
In a sauce pan combine
1/3 C. Sugar
2TBS. cornstarch
1/4tsp. salt
Gradually stir in 1-1/2 C. Milk.( whisk the WHOLE time you are adding milk.)
Cook over medium heat. stirring constantly, until mixture thickens & comes to a boil.
Boil for about a 1 Min.
Add a few large spoonfuls to the 2 slightly beaten egg yolks.( I stirred the mixture after every spoonful.)
Return egg yolk mix to saucepan & bring to a boil for about 1 min. Stir Constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of Vanilla.
( reminds me of vanilla pudding both taste and texture.)
Chill.
Step 3-Chocolate Glaze:
In a medium sauce pan combine:
Combine 2 Ounces of unsweetend chocolate ( I didn't have this, I use Milk Chocolate chips and it worked and tasted great. And it wasn't overly sweet. so just use what you have.)
3 Tbs. of butter
Stir over low heat until melted remove from heat and add:
1 Cup of powdered sugar. and 1 teaspoon of Vanilla.
stir in 3-5 tsp. of milk til it looks Slightly runny. ( think glaze. NOT frosting.)
Cool slightly
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER:
Once Cake cools completely Cut in half horizontaly to make 2 thin layers.
Spoon creme filling over bottom half of cake.
Set the top half of cake back on.
Spread Top with Chocolate Glaze.
Refrigerate til glaze is completely set.

ok, so this looks YUM. i was a little confused, though, as i was expecting a PIE. you know, an actual pie, right?
yes, I do know.. I don't know why they call it a pie when really it's a cake..I promise this is not my error. It's just one of quirk things...Maybe Boston Creme CAKE just didn't roll of the tongue right?! I don't know.LOL!
