Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup store-bought caramel sauce
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs (for the cake mix)
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for the cake mix)
- 1.25 cups water (for the cake mix)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs (for the flan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
Pour the caramel sauce into the bottom of the Bundt pan, swirling it to coat evenly.
Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the box, combining the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and eggs for the flan mixture. Blend until smooth.
Pour the chocolate cake batter carefully on top of the caramel in the Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
Slowly pour the flan mixture over the cake batter. Do not stir or mix them; the flan will sink beneath the cake batter during baking.
Cover the Bundt pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Place the Bundt pan in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with about 2 inches of hot water to create a water bath for gentle baking.
Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Remove the Bundt pan from the water bath and cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
To unmold, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert the pan onto a serving plate and gently lift it away. The caramel will drizzle down over the flan and cake layers.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Chocolate Flan Cake!
