BOSTON CREAM PIE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Make the cheesecake: Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the gelatin with 2 tablespoons water in a small microwave-safe bowl and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes. Beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer) until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla and a pinch of kosher salt, and beat on medium-high speed until incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute.
• Microwave the gelatin until melted, stirring as needed, about 30 seconds. Add the gelatin to the cream cheese mixture and beat on medium-high speed to combine, about 30 seconds. Pour the cream cheese-gelatin mixture into the springform pan and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of a 9-inch cake pan; dust with flour and tap out the excess.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and fine salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla, until combined.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternate adding in the flour mixture and the milk, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour. Mix just until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.
• To assemble: Evenly cut the cake in half horizontally with a serrated knife so you have two cakes that are the same height. Remove the sides of the springform pan. Place the bottom layer cake upside down on top of the cheesecake and flip it over so that the cheesecake is now on top of the cake. Remove the parchment paper from the top of the cheesecake and place onto a cake plate or cake stand. Top with the second cake layer and place in the fridge while you make your ganache.
• Make the ganache: Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring the heavy cream and butter to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour over the chocolate and let it stand for 5 minutes. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
• Remove the cake from the fridge and pour the ganache over the top of the cake, smoothing out the top with a small offset spatula and letting it drip over the sides. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

BOSTON SOUR CREAM CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Grease and lightly flour two baking pans. I used two deep about 7″ diameter cake pans {got them at WalMart in the crafts department-wedding stuff}, then sliced each baked cake into three layers. Put chocolate pieces in a large bowl. In a small pot on medium high heat, bring cream to a slow boil. Pour over chocolate and whisk and stir until all is blended, mixed, and there is a 'glossy' shine to to it. Cool a little before drizzling (I used a glass measuring cup w/a 'spout' of sorts.) over the top/sides of the refrigerated/cooled cake. Ganache gets thicker as it cools and sits. Microwave a few seconds to make it more pourable. Cream Filling: Combine in a heavy saucepan the milk, cornstarch and sugar and whisk together well over medium heat. Continue cooking until the edges begin to bubble; the mixture will be thickening. Cook for about 5-7 minutes whisking so as not to burn. Remove from heat. Set aside. In another medium-sized bowl combine the beaten eggs, vanilla and brandy. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the cream mixture and blend. Drizzle slowly the remaining warm cream mixture and blend well. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the bowl patting the wrap down directly on the cream pudding. Refrigerate at least an hour or more to chill. Cake: In a large mixing bowl, blend well the butter and sugar into a fluffy mixture. Add the eggs beating in with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes on medium low. Combine the flour, salt and baking powder in another bowl and blend. Add 1/3 to the butter/egg mixture and blend. Add another 1/3 of the dry ingredients, the vanilla and half of the milk , sour cream and blend well. Add the remaining dry ingredients and milk and blend into a thick fluffy batter. Remove and let cool. With a serrated knife, slice the cakes. Layer cake and put equal amounts of the cream pudding between the first three layers. Top with the 4th piece of cake. Ice the sides of the cake with the packaged chocolate icing. Drizzle the top/sides with chocolate ganache. Refrigerate a few hours before serving. Pour the batter into greased and flour dusted baking pans. (If there's extra batter, make some cupcakes!) Bake in a preheated 350 oven about 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
