The Boston cream (pie) doughnut or donut is a round, solid, yeast-risen doughnut with chocolatefrosting and a custard filling, resulting in a doughnut reminiscent of a miniature Boston cream pie.[1][2]
The doughnut was made out of inspiration from the Boston cream pie[3] which was, in turn, created by chef M. Sanzian at Boston's Parker House Hotel in 1856. The cake consists of vanilla-flavored custard sandwiched between two-layers of sponge cake and topped with chocolate glaze and has been popular in Massachusetts since its creation.[4] The doughnut adaptation of the pie is popular not only in Massachusetts but throughout the United States and Canada.[5]
The Boston cream doughnut was designated the official doughnut of Massachusetts in 2003 (the Boston cream pie itself had already been chosen as the state dessert in 1996).[6] Although the doughnut's popularity made it the natural choice for the state, it is one of only two official state donuts—the only other one being the beignet, the state donut of Louisiana .[7][8]
