PUMPKIN FLAN CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Cake Mix: Mix cake according to the directions on the back of the box. Combine Cake mix, subsituting the coca-cola,for the water, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, mix well. Do not use both water and coke.
• 2. Flan Part: Combine evaporated milk, sweet condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and 4 oz (1/2 block)cream cheese, mix with mixer or in a blender. Mix for 2-3 min., mix well. You can use up to 5 eggs and 8oz of cream cheese to make it creamier. Set flan mixture aside.
• 3. Caramel Sauce: Spray Bundt pan with Pam spray. Pour of 1 1/2 cups Cajeta or caramel into bottom of bundt pan. Feel free to make your own caramel if you want (directions online).
• 4. Assemble the cake: 1. Spray 12 cup bundt pan with Pam spray 2. Pour 1 1/2 cup Cajeta or caramel into bottom of bundt pan. 3. Pour cake batter evenly on top of caramel that is in the bundt pan. 4. Slowly pour flan mixture on top of cake batter. The flan mixture will sink to the bottom of the cake batter by itself. This will cause the cake batter to rise up in the bundt pan. Make sure it doesn't overflow
• 5. Prepare cake to bake: Get a pan large enough for the bundt pan to fit inside. I use a 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Fill the 9 x 13 inch pan with 2 inches of water. Place bundt pan in the pan with the water in it. Place both pans in the oven. Cover the bundt pan with foil for the first 45 minutes of baking.
• 6. Bake the cake: Preheat oven 400 degrees, Bake about 1 hour. Start checking cake after 45 minutes and check every 15 minutes until done. It is very important for cake to be completely done or flan will not set. Check cake with toothpick, also take a knife and gently pull the cake a little from the middle tube/center of cake and peak at cake. If gooey the cake is not done and put back in oven. Also, the cake will separate from the sides and middle of the pan when done. This seems to be the most difficult part about baking this cake. If cake is not done then the flan will be not set up. When done remove bundt pan from larger pan with water and set on cooling rack.
• 7. Serving the cake: Although very tempting DO NOT serve before cooling cake! Cool cake on cooling rack at room tempature about 1 hour, place cake in refrigerator at least 2-3 hours before trying to serve. I make mine the night before and refrigerate overnight. Remove from refrigerator 1-2 hours before serving. Take a large serving platter and put on top of bundt pan and flip cake over. Let set and the cake will come out of the bundt pan. This cake is layered with the cake on the bottom, topped with the flan and the caramel dripping down the sides of the cake. If transporting the cake to another location leave the cake in the bundt pan and flip it onto a platter when you get there. on the bottom, topped with the flan and the caramel dripping down the sides of the cake.
• 8. Pans: 1 - Bundt pan, any size you have will work. 1 - 9 X 13 inch cake pan - You will put about 2 inches of water in this and put the bundt pan in it to bake your cake. Make sure your bundt pan fits inside the 9x13 in pan.

PUMPKIN FLAN, FLAN DE CALABAZA (MADE ONTO A FLAN CAKE)

Steps:

• 1. Caramelized sugar; Do this first; in a large saucepan dump 2 cups of sugar into the pot. Use a large wooden spoon to mix. Put on high heat and begin to stir the sugar until it begins to melt. keep stirring; never leave the pot unattended; and stir constantly. The sugar will begin to melt and turn a light brown keep stirring; lower the heat to medium and continue stirring until your sugar is a golden brown syrup. Be very careful not to burn yourself. I never allow any children in the kitchen when I am doing this. You cannot afford to be distracted when you are doing this. A sugar burn is very serious. When the sugar is a golden medium brown color; pour into an oblong pan. Like a small lasagna pan. With oven mits on; hold the pan with both hands and tip the pan like if you were going to pour out the syrup but what you are doing is bringing the syrup up on each edge of the pan; on all four sides to coat the sides and the whole bottom of the pan. You must coat the sides as high up as possible with all with the hot caramelized sugar syrup. You must work fast to coat the sides of the pan. When you have coated all four sides and the bottom; set the pan aside and prepare the flan.
• 2. Turn on your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a very large lasagna pan that will hold your smaller pan inside of it. If you have a teapot fill with water and begin to heat. When the wistle blows turn off. Set it aside; If you do not have a tea kettle heat about 4 cups of water just until boiling. turn off set aside. In a blender add the four eggs, the can evaporated milk, the can of condensed milk, the sugar, the heavy cream, salt, and vanilla. Turn on the blender to medium high and blend for 30 to forty seconds. Now pour your milk mixture into another container leaving half the milk mixture in the blender, add 1 1/2 cups pumkin into the milk mixture and blend for about half a minute. When throughly mixed pour into a bowl now take the remaing pumpkin puree and the rest of the milk mixture and blend again for half a minute. Now pour the rest of the mixture into the same bowl with the first half of the mixture. With a large spoon or a wire wisk mix all the contents real real good. Now take this mixture and pour all of it into the caramelized coated pan. Now put this pan into the larger pan. Cover your pan with the flan mixture with heavy duty aluminum foil crimp the edges all around; and set the large pan on the lower rack of the oven. Now pour the hot water into the larger pan careful not to burn yourself. Pour just up to the halfway mark of the second pan that is sitting inside the larger pan. Close oven and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. After the time has passed remove the large pan from the oven carfull not to burn yourself. I usually put on top of my stove and let cool somewhat. With my oven mits on I remove the smaller pan and set on a wooden chopping board and let cool. I dump the hot water right away. After the flan has cooled for a few hours I remove to the refrigerator and let get cold overnight. The next day; I remove the foil and cover with a larger pan and flip it over. My flan looks beautiful. I place back in the frigerator until serving time. Enjoy
• 3. In my picture above I made two large flans and inverted one and then inverted the other one on top of it. I made a double flan cake. Tomorrow is my husband's birthday and this flan cake (No batter) is his favorite dessert. This is two pumpkin flans one inverted over the other. I will serve with a little whipped cream on each piece tomorrow. Enjoy

PUMPKIN FLAN CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 Degrees. Prepare a bain Marie: Take a large roasting pan (ensure your bundt pan fits) and place in the middle rack of your oven. Fill with water until an inch deep. Keep this in your oven as it heats up.
• 2. Caramel: Place Sugar & Water into a small saucepan. Heat over Medium Heat until bubbly. It will resemble a clear syrup, then as it continues to cook, it will become a rich caramel color. Meanwhile...make the Flan & the Cake
• 3. Flan: Blend all the flan ingredients in a blender for 1 minute.
• 4. Cake: Put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix on high for about 2 minutes.
• 5. Now ready to assemble for baking: Swirl the Syrup around the bottom of your Bundt pan, coating it. Spray your Bundt pan with non-stick spray AFTER you coat the bottom with the syrup. Now pour in the Cake batter. Place your Bundt pan with Cake batter into the Bain Marie. Pour the Flan mixture on top of the Cake Batter. (This will fill almost to the top of the Bundt pan. If you do this before putting in the Bain Marie, you may risk spilling some...)
• 6. Bake for another 40 minutes, or until the Cake has risen to the top of the Bundt pan, and a tooth pick comes clean after inserting into Cake.
• 7. Allow the Cake to cool COMPLETELY. DO NOT give into the temptation to invert prior to complete cooling. It's best to just keep it in the Bundt pan until you're ready to serve.
• 8. Once it's completely cooled, invert onto your serving dish. Syrup is a beautiful deep caramel color, and the flan would now be on the top of the cake. Enjoy!

FROSTED PUMPKIN GINGERBREAD FLAN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Spray two flan pans evenly with PAM or Baker's Joy. NOTE, if you don't have non-stick flan pans - For a little extra insurance that the cakes turn out of the pans smoothly after baking, do this: spray the pans w/ PAM, then cut out circles of parchment paper or waxed paper, the size of the inner flan. Spray the top of the parchment paper after anchoring it in the flan. This center section is your thinnest part of the finished cake, so this is just extra insurance that it won't stick and fall apart when you release it from the pan later on.
• Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
• Divide batter evenly between the two prepared flans. Bake for approx. 20 minutes, or when toothpick inserted in thickest part comes out clean.
• After about 5 minutes, to allow sugars to harden a bit and cake to pull away from the pans, flip cakes over onto desired platters. Allow them to cool completely.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk pudding into cold milk until it is well and thoroughly mixed. Whisk in canned pumpkin until smooth.
• Using a rubber spatula, GENTLY fold 3 cups of the cool whip into pudding/pumpkin mixture. Incorporate them together well.
• Dividing the mixture equally, spread evenly into the wells of the two flans.
• Chop the pecans, and sprinkle over the top of the pudding/pumpkin/cool whip mixture.
• Garnish the tops of the cakes with the remainder of the cool whip.
• Mix together the cinnamon and freshly-ground nutmeg, and sprinkle evenly over the tops of the cakes.
• Store unused portion in refrigerator. Will not last much more than a day, so eat it up! Yummmmm!
