In reply to LG. I’m not familiar with high altitude baking, but some readers have found this guide helpful for adjusting my recipes.

What would the adjustment(s) be for high altitude (5800 ft)?

First time I’ve ever made a white sponge with this method and it was absolutely lovely. I substituted 4 egg yolks for 2 whole eggs for the pastry cream and I also used 1.5 cups of milk and .5 cup of double cream for the crème pat. Never tried Boston Cream pie before but it will now become part of my collection. Thank you

In reply to Ellie. I haven't tried it, but I think it would be fine.

Love this recipe! I was wondering, would store bought sponge cake mix work for this recipe?

This was by far the best cake for Boston cream pie. My youngest requests BCP for every birthday so we’ve made many throughout the years. The cakes never hit the mark but this one was spot on PERFECT sponge cake texture.

Thank you for this recipe. I recently made it for a summer bbq and it came out perfect – we had no leftovers!! Thank you, again!

In reply to Anna. Hi, Anna! If you're wanting to sweeten the chocolate ganache you've already made, you could reheat it and try to dissolve a tablespoon of sugar into it. Did you make sure to use semi-sweet chocolate too? If so, next time you make it you could either dissolve some a tablespoon of sugar into the cream before you heat it or use milk chocolate.

Hi! Thank you for the recipe. I was wondering if I could add some sugar in the chocolate ganache? I baked the pie today but the icing seemed too bitter.
