Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Looking for something sweet? One serving of this Boston Cream Pie is sure to hit the spot when served with an cold glass of fat-free milk.

Note

Use a 2-layer cake mix to bake 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cake layers. Cool completely. Use 1 of the cake layers as directed. Wrap remaining cake layer tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil. Store in freezer up to 1 month.

How to Slice Cake Layer Evenly

Place cooled cake layer on serving plate. Make 2-inch horizontal cut around side of cake using long serrated knife. Then, cut all the way through cake layer to make 2 layers.

I have made this 4x now. My husband just loves it. I buy the larger box of pudding mix and use to to make both pieces of cake. It is so simple and so delicious, everyone who tries it thinks I worked for hours on it! I have varied the cake mixes to include carrot cake, french vanilla, and butter pecan. They all taste great!

Fantastic. I used french vanilla pudding and loved it. Next time I might make some additional chocolate for the top. Also made an extra cake for the freezer.
