Chocolate Flan Cake

Chocolate Flan Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Cake Layer:

• 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

For the Flan Layer:

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Caramel:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a Bundt cake pan generously with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Make the Caramel:
   • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water.
   • Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden brown (caramel) color.
   • Quickly pour the caramel into the prepared Bundt pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Cake Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil.
   • Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.
   • Pour the cake batter over the caramel in the Bundt pan.
4. Prepare the Flan Mixture:
   • In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
   • Blend until smooth.
   • Carefully pour the flan mixture over the cake batter in the Bundt pan. The flan mixture will sink to the bottom.
5. Bake the Cake:
   • Cover the Bundt pan with aluminum foil.
   • Place the Bundt pan in a large roasting pan. Add about 1 inch of hot water to the roasting pan to create a water bath.
   • Carefully place the roasting pan in the oven.
   • Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
6. Cool and Unmold:
   • Remove the Bundt pan from the water bath and allow the cake to cool to room temperature.
   • Refrigerate the cake in the pan for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
   • To unmold, carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
   • Invert the cake onto a serving plate. The caramel sauce will flow over the cake.
7. Serve:
   • Slice and serve the Chocolate Flan Cake chilled. Enjoy!
