Boston Cream Pie
Don't be fooled! This "pie" is really a cake.
Cake
1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Work butter and vanilla extract together until creamy, then work in sugar, a little at a time, until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating hard after each addition. Stir in milk and flour combination alternately. Pour batter into two greased 8-inch round cake pans and bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides of pan. Cool.
Filling
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons flour
Dash of salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Scald half-and-half. Combine sugar, flour and salt in a bowl and stir in the hot milk until smooth. Add to egg very slowly, beating constantly. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until custard thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and cool. When both cake and filling are cool, spoon filling between the layers and sprinkle top with confectioners' sugar, or frost with chocolate frosting.
Variation
To make Washington Pie, put raspberry jam or jelly between the layers in place of the custard, and shower the top with confectioners' sugar.

The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn HistoryView This Product at Amazon
This comprehensive meticulously documented collection of scholarly articles presents indisputable evidence that a readily discernible and uniquely Islamic antisemitism has been expressed continuously since the advent of Islam. The contributors show that the "Koran" itself is a significant source of hostility towards Jews as well as other foundational texts.
The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-MuslimsView This Product at Amazon
The Legacy of Jihad reveals how, for well over a millennium, across three continents--Asia, Africa, and Europe--non-Muslims who were vanquished by jihad wars, became forced tributaries (called dhimmi in Arabic), in lieu of being slain. Under the dhimmi religious caste system, non-Muslims were subjected to legal and financial oppression, as well as social isolation. Extensive primary and secondary source materials, many translated here for the first time into English, are presented, making clear that jihad conquests were brutal, imperialist advances, which spurred waves of Muslims to expropriate a vast expanse of lands and subdue millions of indigenous peoples. Finally, the book examines how jihad war, as a permanent and uniquely Islamic institution, ultimately regulates the relations of Muslims with non-Muslims to this day.
Scholars, educators, and interested lay readers will find this collection an invaluable resource.
