About Recipe

This cake has a history and a story behind it...well, actually three stories. First of all, as a littl' girl growing up in West Virginia, I lived in the hollers. On usually oneSaturday a month, Dad and Mom would take us kids to the 'big city,' the county seat, to 'shop' at the 5&Dime; and to go grocery shopping at the 'big' store. Part of this special adventure was having lunch, and we'd eat at the popular 'grille' in town. This is where I first experienced 'Boston Cream Pie'...it was glorious! Every time we went into town the best part of the day was not listening to 45rpm records at the dime store, but sitting down in the booth at the grille and eating the Boston Cream Pie!
