Best Choco Flan Recipes

DELICIOUS MEXICAN CHOCO -FLAN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 350ºF. Spray a bundt pan with cooking oil and pour 1/4 cup of the caramel topping in bottom of pan.
• Prepare the chocolate cake according with the directions in the back of the box, and beat until smooth and pour in the prepared pan.
• In the blender place the two milks, eggs and vanilla extract and blend well.
• Now be very careful adding slowly the blended milk mixture over the chocolate cake mixture already poured in the pan.
• THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: place a sheet of aluminum foil on top of the bundt pan with the cake. Place in large roasting pan; add 1 inch of hot water to roasting pan. and then place it in the center rack of the preheated oven, without moving the mixture too much, so the cake and the flan won't mix with each other.
• Cook for 1 hour and check for the flan to be cooked and set, inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean the cake is done, but if not, let it in the oven covered with aluminum for 10 more minutes until flan is completely set.
• Remove from oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes, separating the sides with a spatula, and turn it very carefully over in a serving plate.
• Decorate with halves pecans on top of the caramel sauce and place in the refrigerator. Serve cold and -- Enjoy it!
• VARIATION: I have used Duncan Hines Caramel cake mix and the taste with the flan is excellent, too.

CHOCO FLAN

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat a Bundt pan with a little butter, then coat the bottom with 1/4 cup cajeta (dulce de leche) and put it in a large roasting pan. (The roasting pan will serve as a water bath during baking.) For the cake: Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa in a medium bowl. Beat 1/3 of the flour mixture, and 1/2 of the buttermilk into the egg mixture. Repeat, ending with the flour mixture. Blend until well incorporated. For the flan: In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream cheese, eggs and vanilla. Blend on high for 30 seconds. Scoop the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spreading evenly. Slowly pour the flan mixture over the cake batter. Cover with foil and add about 1-inch of hot water to the roasting pan. Carefully slide the pan into the oven, and bake 1 hour, until the surface of the cake is firm to the touch, or an inserted toothpick comes out clean. When cake is done, remove from the water bath and cool completely to room temperature, about 1 hour. Invert a large, rimmed serving platter over the Bundt pan, grasp tightly together, giggle a little and flip over. Remove the pan and scrape any remaining cajeta (dulce de leche) from the pan onto the cake, garnish with chopped pecans and serve! Cook's Notes: The batters may appear to mix when you pour them into the pan, but they completely separate while baking, with the flan ending up on the bottom when it's inverted. I like eating it warm, but traditionally, it is chilled 24 hours before serving.
