Boston Cream Pie
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. This cake‑torte owes its name to the city of Boston. It is claimed that it was created in 1856. And in 1996 this cake was declared the official dessert of Massachusetts. It is prepared very simply and relatively quickly, as fast as a cake can be. While the sponge is in the oven, prepare the cream. And the chocolate glaze will take you only 2–3 minutes. The sponge can be baked either in the oven or in a multicooker. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
