Ingredients

Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray

½ cup SMUCKER'S® Caramel Flavored Topping

1 (15.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix

1 cup water

3 large eggs

½ cup Crisco® Pure Vegetable Oil

1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 (12 ounce) can PET® Evaporated Milk

4 large eggs, at room temperature

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 12-cup fluted tube pan with nonstick spray. Place a piece of rolled-up foil into the tube part of the pan to prevent cake from spilling over the top. Pour caramel topping into the prepared pan.

Step 2

Beat cake mix, water, 3 eggs, and vegetable oil together in a large bowl until well combined; pour evenly over caramel topping.

Step 3

Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, 4 eggs, cream cheese, and vanilla in a blender. Process until smooth; pour slowly over cake batter. While baking, the cake will rise and the milk mixture will go to the bottom.

Step 4

Coat a piece of foil with nonstick spray. Cover the pan tightly with foil, coated-side down. Place the pan in a large roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to a depth of 2 inches.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs on it, about 2 hours.

Step 6

Place cake on a cooling rack; cool for 15 minutes. Remove foil and invert onto a serving plate. Cool for 1 hour at room temperature. Chill for 4 hours or overnight before serving.

The cake consists of two distinct layers – a smooth and creamy layer of flan on top of a moist and rich layer of chocolate cake. The two layers are baked together, but during the baking process, they magically swap places, resulting in a stunning dessert with a layer of flan on the bottom and a layer of chocolate cake on top. The combination of the creamy flan and the moist chocolate cake creates a delightful contrast in textures and flavors, making it a favorite among dessert lovers. Whether served on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, chocolate flan cake is sure to impress and satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth.
