Instructions
1. Make the caramel
- Heat sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and amber-colored.
- Quickly pour into a greased Bundt pan, swirling to coat the bottom.
2. Prepare the flan mixture
Blend:
- condensed milk
- evaporated milk
- eggs
- vanilla
- cream cheese (if using)
Blend until smooth.
3. Prepare the cake batter
Mix the chocolate cake batter according to package directions.
4. Layer carefully
- Pour chocolate cake batter into the Bundt pan.
- Slowly pour flan mixture over the cake batter.
Don’t worry if they mix slightly—the layers separate while baking.
5. Bake in a water bath
- Cover pan loosely with foil.
- Place Bundt pan inside a larger roasting pan.
- Add hot water halfway up the sides.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
6. Cool completely
- Let cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. Unmold
Run a knife around edges and invert onto a serving plate.
Tips
- Refrigerating overnight improves texture and flavor.
- Use dark chocolate cake mix for richer flavor.
- Warm the pan slightly if the caramel sticks during unmolding.
