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.

My son loves helping out in the kitchen and one day while looking at the recent Kraft magazine, he decided that he wanted to make the Boston Cream pie. I must say it was very easy and tasted GREAT!

Easy and fabulous! Although I will only use 1 cup of cool whip next time, I had extra filling, though it is good on graham crackers!

Absolutely get raves on this one! It's easy but looks like you really had to work on it. The first time I made it was last Christmas - have had requests for it every since, and yes, it is great right out of the fridge!

I already have requests to make this again. I made 2 round cakes from the box. Made one for a co-workers b-day and the other just so my husband and kids could try it. Neither cake lasted longer than a day. Very easy to make, light, tasty, very good right out of the fridge.
