ChocoFlan recipe -- it sounds
complicated, but it really is not.
You will need to cook this cake in
a "bano Maria" (Maria bath) so that the milk in the cake will cook.
Take your turkey pan and put about an inch of water in it. Then
take an angel food cake pan and place it in the water in the turkey
pan. Spray the angel food cake pan with non-stick cooking spray and
then squirt or pour caramel or cajeta (thick Mexican caramel) on
the bottom of the angel food cake pan. The angel food cake pan must
be a larger one (16 cup or 3.5 liter size) or else there won't be
enough room for the cake and the flan. Also, I would not use a
silcone pan because this is a very thick, heavy, and dense cake,
and I am afraid it would not come out of the pan very
easily.
Chocolate cake -- buy a box of
chocolate cake mix and make the cake by following the
instructions on the box (water, oil, and 3 eggs). Pour the
chocolate cake batter into the angel food cake pan on top of the
caramel.
Flan - in a blender, you will mix
8 oz. of cream cheese, 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk, 12
oz. can of evaporated milk, 4 eggs, and a little bit of vanilla
extract. Blend in a blender. Then pour the cream cheese and
milk mixure into the chocolate cake batter. Most of it will
disappear and sink immediately into the chocolate cake batter. Some
of the cream cheese and milk mixture will float on top of the cake
batter. Don't worry. When the cake is done cooking, the flan will
be on the bottom of the pan and the chocolate cake will be on
the top. When you flip it out of the pan, the flan will be on top
and the cake will be on the bottom.
Bake in the Bano Maria in the oven
at 400 for about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Check for doneness by
sticking a fork down in the cake. If it comes out clean, then it is
ready. If not, then cook it a little longer. If it is not cooked
long enough, the cake will be a mess (ie: liquid cake in a
bowl)! Let the cake cool in the pan for about a half an
hour, then you can flip it out onto a serving dish. This cake is
good hot or cold. You can garnish with chopped nuts or cherries if
you want.
