Instructions:

1. Begin by beating egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until very stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy and airy texture.

2. In a separate bowl, sift together the remaining dry ingredients – cake flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. In another mixing bowl, combine oil, half of the milk, and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute at medium speed.

4. Add the remaining milk and egg yolks to the mixture, beating for an additional minute. Don’t forget to scrape the bowl to ensure a uniform consistency.

5. Gently fold in the previously beaten egg whites, creating a light and airy batter.

6. Pour the batter into two greased 9×1.5-inch round pans and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 25 minutes until the cakes are golden brown.

7. Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans. Once removed, let them cool completely.

8. Prepare the French Custard Filling: In a saucepan, combine sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in milk, cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens and boils. Continue to cook and stir for an additional 2-3 minutes.

9. Stir a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolk, then return it to the hot mixture. Cook and stir until it just boils. Add vanilla and let it cool.

10. Beat the custard mixture until smooth and fold in whipped cream for a luscious and creamy filling.

11. Frost the cooled cake layers with the prepared French Custard Filling, creating a delicious layer of creamy goodness.

12. Now, it’s time to prepare the Chocolate Glaze: Melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until crumbly.

13. Blend in 3 tablespoons of boiling water and add enough water (about 2 teaspoons), a teaspoon at a time, to form a medium glaze of pouring consistency.

14. Pour the chocolate glaze quickly over the top of the cake, ensuring an even spread over the top and sides.

15. Marvel at your masterpiece, the Boston Cream Pie, a symphony of flavors and textures that will delight your senses.

Indulge in this culinary creation, and share the joy of homemade goodness with your loved ones. Happy baking!
