Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Boston Cream Pie - vegan A dusting of powdered sugar can replace the chocolate glaze if you prefer. 1 cup unbleached white flour 1 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup pureed white potato (room temperature) 1 TBS margarine 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp lemon extract 1/2 cup plain soy milk (room temperature) Cooking spray Filling: 1/4 cup raw cashews 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons cold water 3 ounces (3/8 cup) soft tofu 1/2 cup sugar 4 tsp cornstarch 1/4 tsp salt 1 TBS canola oil 1 tsp vanilla Glaze: 3 TBS cocoa 1 TBS canola oil 1 cup sifted powdered sugar 2 TBS boiling water To make cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together potato and margarine. Add sugar and beat until sugar is fully incorporated and mixture is slightly fluffy. Add vanilla and lemon extract and continue beating. Slowly add soy milk, beating until fully incorporated. Add flour mixture, 1/3 cup at a time, and beat until batter is smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and let cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool on a rack for at least 1 hour. ~~~ To make filling: In a blender, grind cashews with 1/4 cup water until smooth, about 1 minute. Add remaining water (washing down the inner sides of the blender) and blend on high for 2 minutes. Add tofu, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Blend on high until mixture is completely smooth. Pour mixture into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring until mixture is very thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in oil and vanilla. Cool, stirring occasionally. When mixture reaches room temperature, cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. ~~~ To make glaze: In a medium bowl, blend cocoa and oil. Add sugar and water and beat until smooth.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I was just saying that this was one of my favorite pies as a child. Thank you, Ani!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have never been able to figure out why they called a Boston Cream Pie a pie when it is actually a custard filled, 2-layer cake with a chocolate glaze? Strange but it sure is delicious! Nancy C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
