Ingredients:
Cake Shells:
1 box yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup butter, softened
Filling:
1 3.25oz pkg. instant vanilla pudding
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup milk
Chocolate Ganache:
3 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Directions: Mix the cake shell ingredients together until fully mixed. To a mini cupcake pan, spray with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each cavity with 1/2 a tablespoon's worth of cake batter. Into the oven at 350 degrees for 9 - 11 minutes. Immediately after the shells are done, take a tsp measure and press it down into your shell creating a tsp size imprint in the center or your cake shell. Turn your shells out onto a wire rack to cool.
To make the filling, mix all filling ingredients together until it becomes nice and thick. Into a piping bag, squeeze a generous amount into each cake shell.
To make the chocolate ganache, to a microwave safe bowl, add in your chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Microwave for about 20 seconds. Into a piping bag or using a spoon, gently place a dollop of chocolate onto each cream filling shell.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve or display.

Homemade Boston Cream Pie - Best Recipe Ever
Hey everyone! Erren here from Erren's Kitchen, and today I'm going to show you how to make the best Boston cream pie you've ever tasted. This recipe is really simple and doesn't take long at all, but it tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. So watch the video, and let's get started!
For a complete guide with tips, visit:
Ingredients
For The Cake:
1 cup sugar white granulated
1¼ cup flour all-purpose
1¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 oz butter ½ cup/1 stick
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1½ teaspoons vanilla bean paste or extract
For the filling
pastry cream pudding or custard (*see notes)
For The Topping:
½ cup cream heavy whipping cream, double cream
4 oz dark chocolate
1 Tablespoon butter
Instructions
For The Cake:
Preheat the oven to 325°F/162°, grease two 8/20cm pans, and set aside.
Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
Work the butter into the flour mixture with a mixer or beater until it resembles breadcrumbs (similar to when you make biscuits or scones). You want a rough and crumbly texture.
Whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla together in a separate bowl.
Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture all at once.
Mix on low speed for a minute, then increase the speed and beat for 3 to 5 minutes. This ensures you have a light and fluffy batter. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed.
Separate the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake in the oven for around 30-35 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Once baked, set aside to cool.
If you haven't already, while the cake bakes, prepare your filling and place it in the fridge to set.
Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.
For The Ganache:
Warm the cream, pour over the chocolate, and mix together with the butter until smooth. Set aside to cool and thicken slightly.
To Assemble
Place the bottom layer on a serving plate. Spread the chilled filling over the cake, leaving about a 1-inch border. Top with the remaining layer and gently press down to push the filling to the edge of the cake.
Pour the glaze over the top of the cake, spreading to the edges.
Place the assembled cake in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight; cover the cake if chilling for more than two hours to keep it from drying.
