3. Gradually add half of the granulated sugar to the egg yolks, beating until the mixture is thick and pale.

4. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.

5. Fold the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites gently.

6. Sift cake flour over the egg mixture and fold in gently, being careful not to overmix.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top springs back lightly when touched.

8. Loosen the cake by running a metal spatula around the sides of the pan. Invert the cake onto a wire rack, remove the pan, and peel off the wax paper. Turn the cake right side up and let it cool completely on the rack.

9. Prepare the filling: In a saucepan, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and all-purpose flour. Gradually whisk in milk, then add egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt.

10. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Press plastic wrap onto the surface of the filling and chill for 30 minutes.

11. Assemble the cake: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the cake horizontally in half. Place the bottom layer on a serving plate and spread evenly with the chilled filling. Top with the remaining cake layer.

12. Prepare the glaze: In a saucepan, bring 1/2 cup granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and add the semisweet chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.

13. Pour the glaze gradually over the assembled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set.

14. Serve the Boston Dream Cream Pie with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Enjoy this classic American dessert!
