Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes Recipe – Delicious and Easy

Description

Boston Cream Pie is a beloved American dessert with a rich history, traditionally consisting of a sponge cake filled with custard and topped with chocolate glaze. Our version transforms this classic into adorable cupcakes, perfect for any occasion. Fun fact: Did you know that the Boston Cream Pie is actually a cake, not a pie? Its name dates back to the 19th century when the terms “pie” and “cake” were often used interchangeably.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups vanilla pudding
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional Substitutions:

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute butter with margarine and use almond milk.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  • Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  • Once the cupcakes are cool, cut a small circle out of the center of each cupcake and fill with vanilla pudding.
  • In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Spoon the chocolate ganache over each cupcake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the ganache set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Use a piping bag to fill the cupcakes with pudding for a cleaner result.
