The Single Dad: Ex-military man Derrick Richmond. Solitary and satisfied…until little Timmy was dropped into his lap and Derrick had to learn to be somebody's daddy.

The Single Woman: Schoolteacher Anna Maxwell. Fate might have denied her a family of her own, but Anna still had plenty of love to give, if only someone would notice.

The Solution: Anna would teach Derrick all he needed to know about kids. Father and son would give Anna some precious memories. Then the schoolteacher and the single dad would go their separate ways. Unless one little boy figured out a way to make Miss Maxwell become his mom!

Track coach Andrea O'Connor fumes at the audacity of Ian Powers, the almost-too-attractive father of one of her students. He offers to buy school equipment, but only if Andrea agrees to train him for a half-marathon.

She’ll train him, all right—and not just in running. As a widower with a high-powered job, Ian needs some instruction in being a father to an active teenage daughter. Yet as this overbearing man opens up, Andrea finds herself learning a few lessons herself.

Ian knows that Andrea, with her sassy attitude and her penchant for stilettos, is some woman! But her vulnerable heart is on the run, so he'll have to prove that his love, unlike his running, has limitless endurance—and once he catches this swift beauty, he'll never let her go.

Celebrating My Birthday with Boston Cream Pie #Recipe @DonnaFaz

I celebrated a milestone birthday last week. My birthday cake was a delicious Boston Cream Pie. I found this recipe at Life, Love, and Sugar, and after a tiny bit of tweaking, I made my cake. There are three components to this dessert: the cake, the cream filling, and the chocolate frosting. The recipe looks a little complicated, but it’s not at all difficult and the result is scrumptious! I hope you’ll give this recipe a try.

Ingredients:

For the cake:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup butter, softened

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

4 large eggs, room temperature

1 1/4 cups milk

1.      Preheat oven 350° F. Spray two 9-inch round cake pans with baking spray, line bottoms with parchment paper.

2.    Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside.

3.    In the bowl of electric mixer, cream together the butter, oil, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.

4.    Add the vanilla and mix to combine. Add eggs one at a time and beat on medium speed until well incorporated. Scrape down the bowl and beater to ensure all ingredients are combined.

5.     With the mixer on low speed, add half of the flour mixture, then add the milk. Add the remaining flour mixture and beat on medium speed only until flour is incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Over beating at this stage results in a cake that is dense and tough rather than light and fluffy.

6.    Divide the batter evenly in the pans and bake 23-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (While cakes are baking, make the cream filling.)

7.     Remove cakes from the oven. Allow to cool in pans for 5 to 8 minutes. Then turn out cakes onto racks to cool completely.

For the cream filling:

3/4 cup sugar

4 tablespoons cornstarch

2 cups milk

4 egg yolks

2 tablespoons butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1.      In a medium size saucepan, mix together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the milk and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Turn down the heat and simmer for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat.

2.    Place egg yolks in a medium size bowl and whisk until smooth. Temper the yolks by adding a small ladleful of hot, thickened milk mixture to the yolks and whisk briskly. Add another ladleful of the milk mixture to the yolks and whisk again. Then add the tempered yolk mixture to the pot of cream filling and whisk together. Place pot back on the heat and simmer, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

3.    Add butter and vanilla, stirring to combine. Pour cream filling into a bowl, cover with cling film, placing the plastic directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Place in the refrigerator to cool.

For the chocolate topping:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons white corn syrup

1/2 cup heavy cream

1.      Place chocolate chips and corn syrup in a small bowl.

2.    Heat the cream in a small saucepan until just at the simmering point.

3.    Pour hot cream over the chips and allow to sit for 3 minutes, then stir the chocolate until smooth and silky.

Assemble the Boston Cream Pie by placing one layer of the cooled cake on a cake plate. Spread the cream filling on the cake layer. Top the cream filling with the second cake layer. Pour the chocolate sauce over the top of the cake, allowing the sauce to drizzle over the sides. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Cake is best eaten the day it is baked but can be kept, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
