Boston Cream Pie

Another one of those I-have-no-idea-what-I'm-baking-but-I'll-try-it-anyway-especially-since-it-contains-chocolate baking attempts. The Boston Creme Pie (another Nigella recipe), is basically a sponge sandwich with a creme patissiere filling and a chocolate ganache icing.

It took a bit of work to make it, since it involved first making the sponges, then the creme patissiere,

then the ganache, then putting them together. Not being very skilled at making sponges, I made one bigger then the other, AND proceeded to put the bigger piece on top of the smaller piece, which caused it to be unbalanced and really hard to ice as the creme patissiere kept oozing out from the centre, and the top piece kept sliding around. But it was totally fun to make and absolutely delicious to eat. Something I will definitely try again.
