This was wonderful Caroline. So quick and easy to make. Just what the doctor ordered. It was my dh's birthday, and Boston Cream Pie was his pick. I used chocolate pudding, dh's preference and topped with a really good extra fine, extra dark chocolate. This beautiful dessert was amazing. The texture and flavor were spot on. I took the cake out of the fridge 1/2 hour before I was ready to serve, so that the rich, sweet, chocolate glaze could soften.Thank you so much for sharing this treasure, that I will make again. :)

i chose the glaze from this recipe for my cake because of the photo but i didnt to get the same results i was not happy with mine. first it was so thin so i added some more pwd sugar but when i poured it on it looked gross like chocolate vomit and hardened like a rock. i had to find another recipes glaze to make and pour over the whole think so it was not ruined but i did not care for this glaze at all. too fickle.

Excellant cake/pie I made 2 due to DD needed it for a project at school so we test drove this recipe on the family. The pudding was not thick enough so added whipped cream on the first cake to make it thicker . Layers slid when we cut the cake. so second cake I made my own pudding from scratch and consistancy was much better. Overall I will try this again.

Ohhh sooo yummy! I had a few layers of yellow cake in the freezer so I used three thin layers of cake and two layers of pudding. The amount of pudding was perfect for two layers and the chocolate glaze was the perfect amount :)

I made this for Easter dinner. It was very good. I had some difficulty with the glaze. I used a two layer yellow cake. Next time I'll use the Jiffy. I put the finished cake in the refrigerator and the glaze hardened too much. I used Ghiradelli dark chocolate for baking. I doubled the glaze and was careful not to overcook it. I'll try it again some time and see if I have better luck.

I followed one of the other reviewers and made a homemade yellow cake, It tasted good, but it made so much cake doing it homemade, I should have cut the cake recipe in half, and also doubled the glaze.

Excellent! Everyone enjoyed the cake, and there were no leftovers to take home.

Simple, quick to make and good. A great old-fashioned dessert. Just one little warning: DON'T cook the glaze very long, just until it comes together. Otherwise it gets too thick and separates slightly when cold. Some melted butter then lies on top. It took a little fancy dancing to cover it up! Caroline, thanks for a winner. Janet

Oh, this was delicious! My son took a big bite and immediately held up all five fingers (signifying 5 stars). :) Rather than using the cake mix, though, I made half of Yellow Cake Yellow Cake. I also made 1 1/2 times the glaze, just to make sure there was enough to cover. It thickened faster than I expected, and since I was pouring it over a cold cake (I had refrigerated the filled cake earlier in the day), it set up rather quickly, so I did end up needing the extra. The amount in the recipe would be fine, though, as long as you pour it over a room-temperature cake while it is still quite thin. The half-and-half made the pudding nice and rich. We loved it, Caroline--thanks for posting!
