EGGNOG FLAN CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat Oven to 400 degrees. Spray a bundt cake pan with spray oil (I love Baker's Joy). Pour 1/2 bottle of cajeta or caramel sauce on the bottom of the bundt pan. Set aside.
• 2. Prepare cake as called for on box substituting the Cream Soda for the water. Mix well making sure to scrape down the sides. Set aside.
• 3. Mix the eggnog, eggs and condensed milk for about 2-3 minutes.
• 4. Pour cake mix over the caramel in the bundt pan making sure to evenly distribute the mix. Next pour the flan mixture over the cake. The flan mixture will seep beneath the cake (My kids and I love watching the cake balloon up as the flan mixture goes under).
• 5. Place the bundt pan in a larger pan and pour hot water in the larger pan until it comes about 3/4 of the way up the larger pan. This water bath will help the cake and flan (especially the flan) cook evenly.
• 6. I cover the bundt pan with aluminum foil to keep the top from burning. Cook for about 45 minutes then remove the foil. Cook for another 15-30 minutes (checking at 5-10 minute intervals) until a toothpick or bamboo skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
• 7. Remove the cake from the oven and refrigerate (at least 5-6 hours but preferably overnight). Run a thin knife along the inner and outer edge of the bundt pan to loosen the cake and flan. Cover the top of the bundt pan with the plate or tray you will be serving from (This is much easier than trying to move the cake later). Invert the pan onto the tray and tap the top until the cake is released.
• 8. If you did it right and the flan set correctly, you should have a result similar to the picture. Good luck!

EGGNOG FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Stir the sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until deep amber, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour the caramel into a shallow 10-inch-round cake pan, tilting the pan so the caramel evenly coats the bottom.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Whisk the eggnog and eggs in a large bowl until smooth, being careful not to beat in too much air. Pour the eggnog mixture over the caramel in the pan, then place in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough boiling water to come halfway up the side of the cake pan.
• Loosely cover the roasting pan with foil and bake 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue baking until the custard is set but still quivers, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
• Remove the flan from the roasting pan and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until cold and set, about 2 hours. To serve, run a thin knife around the edge of the flan, place an inverted flat plate over the pan and flip to unmold.
