Boston Creme Poke Cake!!!!!!!!!

I made this today and it was super divine. It isn't my own creation but it gave me an idea on what I can make for when I need a delicious treat. I straight up microwaved the cake part and used THM super sweet blend. I think next time I'm going to make twice the pastry cream and twice the chocolate ganache. Oh man. I'm going to go get more. BRB.


Okay, I'm back now.

I would take a picture but it flipped upside down when I tried to take the picture. Now it's an ugly, yet delicious mess. My toddler even loves it! This cake has come at the perfect time, too. With two little ones running around, my days are exhausting at best.

Here are the modifications that I made, due to the lack of ingredients I have on hand at the moment:

- I only made 1/3 of the recipe. I only wanted a taste. Big mistake because it's half gone and I want to eat more.
- I left the whey protein powder out. I simply ran out. Yesterday. Argh.
- I used THM super sweet blend, and just reduced it a bit. I like things super sweet so you may want to reduce even more.
- I used my own baking blend, based on THM principles. Here it is below:
           - 1 part each of coconut flour, flax seed, and oat fiber
           - 2 parts each of almond flour
- I microwaved the cake part! It worked. Try a couple minutes at first then go from there. It may take up to 5 minutes, depending on your microwave.
- I stuck the cake in the freezer once I poured the creme over it. I wanted to speed up the process.
- I used water instead of the nut milk. I'm not sure if the nut milk would really change the taste. I just didn't have any on hand.


So there we have it. A perfect Boston Creme Poke Cake. Thank you, Carolyn. It was wonderful.


Here's a picture from the site haha
