If you're just filling the one inch hole you cored out how do you get such a thick layer of vanilla pudding? I don't think that makes any sense.

Boston cream isn't vanilla pudding, either. But this looks like a copycat version that kids will like a lot.
 
Made a modified version of this last night (Made if for a half-breast and adjusted some seasonings), and it came out great. I also used an oven thermometer
