Ingredients
Chocolate Cake
- 1/2 cup cajeta or caramel sauce plus extra for drizzling at the end
- 1 cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Mexican Coca-Cola*
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Flan
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 large eggs
- 12 ounce Can evaporated Milk
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and lightly flour a 10-15 cup bundt pan. I use a nonstick spray with flour in it like Baker's Joy.
- Drizzle the bottom and sides of the bundt pan with the cajeta. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until well-combined.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla until incorporated.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until just incorporated.
- Stir in the coke and buttermilk until combined.
- Pour cake batter into prepared pan.
- To make the flan, add the cream cheese and eggs to a blender. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
- Blend in the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until combined.
- Pour the flan mixture over the cake batter. Some of the flan may swirl into the cake batter, and that's ok.
- Cover the bundt pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place the bundt pan into a larger pan, and add 1 inch of hot (not boiling) water to make a water bath.
- Bake for about 90 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
- Uncover, and let cake cool in the pan for 1 hour.
- Cake can be served warm or chilled for a few hours and served cold.
- Drizzle with additional cajeta just before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Cajeta: It's important to use a thicker caramel, like cajeta, so that it doesn't melt.
- Butter: I use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, increase the salt by 1/2 teaspoon.
- Kosher salt: Sea salt is a good substitute for kosher salt. If you are using table salt, use 1/4 teaspoon.
- Coca cola: If you can't find Mexican Coca-Cola, substitute regular Coca-Cola. I don't recommend using diet cola in this cake.
- Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a buttermilk substitute.
