A Boston cream pie is a cake with a cream filling.^[1] The dessert acquired its name when cakes and pies were baked in the same pans, and the words were used interchangeably.^[2] In the late 19th century, this type of cake was variously called a "cream pie", a "chocolate cream pie", or a "custard cake".^[2]
