Boston Cream Poke Cake…yellow buttery cake filled with a french vanilla cream pudding and frosted with rich chocolate.

Beyond doubt, this is a very heavenly dessert!

This is one of my husband’s favorite desserts of all time.

When I told him I made it for him, I could see pure happiness on his face. So that made me happy too! Not to mention, he gobbled most of it up on his own in three days. I did manage to get a few nibbles too, thank goodness I did when I did!

I made the easy Boston cream poke cake for him though, so by rights, he should get most of it, right?

I could argue…but sometimes it’s just better to let it go and move on like it never happened.

So just a little history tidbit–Chocolatess Trivia, if you will!

Boston Cream Pie was created by Armenian-French chef M. Sanzian at Boston’s Parker House Hotel in 1856.

The original Boston Cream Pie was a cake combination of two layers of sponge cake filled with vanilla custard and topped with a chocolate ganache.

It’s also the official dessert of Massachusetts.

I learned something new today, how about you? 🙂
