Lighter Boston Cream Pie Recipe

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. Bake: 15 min. + cooling

MAKES: 12 servings

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-1/4 cups cake flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup fat-free milk
• FILLING:
• 1-1/4 cups cold fat-free milk
• 1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
• GLAZE:
• 1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 to 2 tablespoons fat-free milk

Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs; mix well. Beat in applesauce and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with milk until blended.
2. Coat two 9-in. round baking pans with cooking spray and sprinkle with flour; add batter. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3. For filling, in a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes (mixture will be thick). Place one cake layer on a serving plate; top with filling and remaining cake layer.
4. For glaze, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, cocoa and vanilla. Add enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Spread over top of cake, allowing some glaze to drape down the sides. Yield: 12 servings.
