Download Day a Little Late

jason-birthday

I admit, with the holiday I completely forgot that it was Monday this week and therefore, had no Download Day.  But, the 26th was Jason's birthday (Happy 38th!) and so as a treat for him, I created a birthday wish on his blog that you can download.Just go to www.jasonhall.com and you'll see a tag (in his favorite color) with multiple versions of it just a click away.  I'll get back on schedule next week but I hope you enjoy this birthday bonus.In the meantime, when you want to recreate Jason's fabulous birthday Boston Cream Cake from the kitchen of my sister-in-law Blair then here is the recipe:BOSTON CREAM CAKE1 Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Cake Mix1 c. heavy whipping cream1 pkg. Jello Instant French Vanilla Pudding1 c. whole milk2 c. powdered sugar + 2 Tbs powdered sugar3 Baker's unsweetened chocolate squares1/4 c. butter2 Tbs hot waterCake:Make in two round cake pans per package directions.  Cool completely.Filling:Whip pudding mix, whipping cream, whole milk, 2 Tbs powdered sugar until stiff.  Refrigerate for half hour.Glaze:Melt chocolate squares in sauce pan.  Add butter, 2 c. powdered sugar, and 2 Tbs. hot water (more water if needed).  Stir often and keep on low heat to keep from burning.Layer:Place one cake on dish.  Cut across top to smooth if needed.  Pile filling in the center of first cake layer - does not need to go all the way to the edge.  Place second cake layer on next and press slightly.  Pour glaze over top of cake and smooth with spatula so that it drips over the edges.  Store in refrigerator.Add candles whether it's your birthday or not!  Every day can be a celebration, right?It's delectable - Enjoy!
