French chef Monsieur Augustine Francois Anezin created this pudding and cake combination in 1856 at Boston's Parker House Hotel.
Two layers of sponge cake filled with vanilla-flavored custard or creme patisserie are included in the decadent cake. A cherry can be served with a chocolate glaze, such as a ganache or occasionally powdered sugar and a cherry.
The Boston Cream Pie was Massachusetts' official dessert in 1996.
