This is a really good pie, but if you want a really great pie, sub the white sugar for 2/3 cup of light brown sugar and the milk for 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Also make sure those half teaspoons of nutmeg and cinnamon are heaping half teaspoons. I've been using this recipe for two years, and no one ever believes it's homemade (and there's never any left)!

This cake tasted awesome. When it comes to chocolate, the more the better for me, but this cake did not need icing or add-ins. Icing or chips would be overkill, nuts or coconut maybe. It was extremely moist--great with a glass of milk. My only problem was that the batter prepared as directed did cook over, so it wasn't very pretty the first time. So the next time I made it, I kept about a cup and a fourth of the batter and made a half dozen cupcakes with it. The cake stayed in the pan, the kids got cupcakes, and I had delicious cake that was pretty, too! This recipe is good with any flavor box cake and icing.

I usually use pancake mix. Today I was out. These pancakes were awesome! My kids wanted seconds! If you like a light or fluffier pancake, add more milk. I like 'em thick. I added a little vanilla and cinnamon for a kick. My kids want them again tomorrow!
