Ingredients
- butter softened, for greasing
- ⅔ cup Caramel sauce or 1 cup white sugar
FLAN:
- 10 fl. oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 12 fl. oz evaporated milk (1 can)
- 5 medium eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
CHOCOLATE CAKE:
- 1 box cake mix (devil’s food cake) 400-550g
- ¼ cup oil
- 1 cup water
- 2 medium eggs
- boiling water for bain marie
Instructions
- Grease a bundt pan with butter. Set aside. Preheat oven at 160°C/320°F.
- Pour ⅔ cup of caramel in the bundt pan. Tilt it around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan with caramel. Set aside.Alternatively, place 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Melt the sugar over medium-low heat until it turns into caramel and pour this into the bundt pan.
- Prepare the chocolate cake batter as directed in the box. Gently pour the batter into the pan on top of the caramel. Spread and flatten using a spatula.
- To make the flan, in a bowl, gently whisk the eggs (don’t beat, just mix to break and combine). Add the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract and gently stir until well combined.
- Slowly pour the flan mixture on top of the batter while running it through a sieve to filter out any lumps.
- Brush some butter on an aluminum foil. Cover the pan with the foil, butter side down, and tuck the edges in.
- Place the bundt pan in a roasting pan or any larger pan. Pour boiling water into the outer pan about 2 inch high.
- Place the pan in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool at room temperature, uncovered, for 1 hour. Refrigerate, covered in foil or plastic wrap, for another 1-2 hours or until completely set.
- Remove the pan from the fridge and tap the sides to dislodge the cake. You can also run a thin metal spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
- Place a serving plate upside down on top of the cake pan. Turn both upside-down to invert then remove the pan.
