    Recipe Introduction


    "When Good Housekeeping asked former Miss America title winner Phyllis George for her favorite food, she quickly replied: Coca-Cola Chocolate Pan Cake, made by a renowned cook named Queenie who served in the Kentucky governor's mansion. "At night," says George, "I'd go down to the kitchen and drink cold whole milk while eating Queenie's cake straight out of the pan with a spoon.""

    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 cups granulated sugar
