All Chocolate Boston Cream Pie – Deep Chocolate Cake with a pudding filling and glaze topping.
I made this cake last week and we loved it! I am definitely making this again. This is a very rich dessert so it will easily serve 10 – 12 people. I used a new cocoa I got from King’s Arthur Flour, this is my new favorite cocoa. It has a deep, full color and flavor. I have tried many different cocoa’s over the years and until this one would never have recommended one over another. It is Bensdorp Dutch Process Cocoa and it is 12.95 a pound. It has 22% – 24% fat.

The cake part is very good. The filling, well, I am guessing that you meant 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa. — and now that my filling did not set, I wonder if there are any other additions.
I stirred constantly and the filling mixture boiled for probably 2 minutes, but it did not set. is it a rolling boil? is there a temp to go for instead. could you add pictures of the boil of the filling?
