Ingredients

  • 1 box of yellow cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 cups of vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup of chocolate ganache

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the package instructions, mixing in the eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  • While the cakes cool, prepare the vanilla pudding according to package instructions, adding vanilla extract.
  • Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and fold it into the cooled vanilla pudding.
  • Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread the vanilla cream filling over the top. Place the second cake layer on top.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  • Dust with powdered sugar if desired and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy your impressive Boston Cream Pie!
