Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup store-bought caramel sauce
• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 3 large eggs (for the cake mix)
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for the cake mix)
• 1.25 cups water (for the cake mix)
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 12 oz evaporated milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs (for the flan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pour the caramel sauce into the bottom of the Bundt pan, swirling it to coat evenly.

Step 3

Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the box, combining the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Set aside.

Step 4

In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and eggs for the flan mixture. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the chocolate cake batter carefully on top of the caramel in the Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Slowly pour the flan mixture over the cake batter. Do not stir or mix them; the flan will sink beneath the cake batter during baking.

Step 7

Cover the Bundt pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

Step 8

Place the Bundt pan in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with about 2 inches of hot water to create a water bath for gentle baking.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the Bundt pan from the water bath and cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.

Step 11

To unmold, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert the pan onto a serving plate and gently lift it away. The caramel will drizzle down over the flan and cake layers.

Step 12

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Chocolate Flan Cake!
