I actually used 3 recipes to make this cake . My family all love it and it is so easy to make and looks amazing when you serve it. I think the secret is in the filling . It is so so good I normally eat some of it like pudding.This filling is also great for Coconut Cream Pie and Banana cream Pie - and it would make great Cream...

[email protected]This pie was a disaster. The custard didn't set and the cake was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]I had some trouble with the custard. It was a little lumpy. But the cake turned out great. I think I'll try making it again with a different custard recipe.

[email protected]This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The custard was very creamy and the cake was moist. I think I would have liked it better with a less sweet custard.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of custard pies, but this one is really good. The custard is not too sweet and the cake is really moist. I also love the chocolate ganache on top. It's the perfect finishing touch.

[email protected]I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a hit. The custard is always smooth and creamy, and the cake is always moist and fluffy. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it still tastes great.
