Let's be honest, with nearly a dozen eggs, you'd expect rich, moist decadent cake, right? Well don't.
1 The cake is very dry. It took twice as long to cook, and was gooey in the very center. Yes, I followed the instructions to a T. I figured it would be light and airy because of whipping the egg whites and yolks seperate, but I was wrong. Save the hassle, and use your favorite yellow cake mix.
2 The custard is okay. But look at the ingredients. There is nothing to give it real flavor. The rum is nice, but it's not enough. Maybe vanilla? It does set up supurbly though. Plus, I had over half of the custard left over. I put it into custard cups for later. But what a waste.
3 I admit, I didn't use his chocolate recipe. I used Alton Brown's ganache. (1/2 cream 1/2 chocolate This was the best part. But in the future, I would just melt the chocolate, add 2-3 TBL. water, then drizzle over the cake. Let it set up to a nice hard crust. Delicious!
Sorry Bobby. Come to my place and we'll have a Boston Creme throwdown.

I can't get the filling to stand up. Both times it's too runny, not sure what I'm doing wrong. I had the cake from the Parker House last year, wish this recipe was more descriptive.
