Magic Flan Cake or Chocoflan
It’s time for another magic cake recipe. If you’ve never experimented with whipping one of these up, believe me you’re in for a treat. Not only is this magic flan cake completely delicious and drool worthy, chock full of chocolate and caramel, but it’s also the 8th wonder of the man made world. In all the baking that I’ve done over the years, I have to say this is my favorite cake that I have ever made. That’s saying a lot, but I absolutely love flan, and when paired together with a delicious layer of chocolate cake, you have magic. Although the ingredient list seems long, and it does take a while for this cake to bake, it’s all worth it in the end. Trust me!
Chocolate Cake
Caramel sauce – Store bought or you can make your own, here’s a simple 1 ingredient caramel sauce recipe. Flour – All purpose is all we need for this cake today. Cocoa powder – We want this chocolate cake to be rich, complex, and oh so chocolatey. Spices – We need a bit of cinnamon to spice up our chocolate cake. Baking powder – The leavening agent in our cake, to ensure volume and texture. Seasoning – All baked goods need a bit of salt, without it your cake will taste bland. Chocolate – Bittersweet baking chocolate chopped up. Butter – Unsalted as to control the salt content of our dish. Buttermilk – This ingredient will ensure our cake is tender, full of dimension and complexity. Sugar – I used white granulated sugar today. Eggs – 2 eggs to ensure our cake turns out exactly the way we want it to. Vanilla – Secret flavor weapon.
Flan
Condensed milk – Just one can of the stuff, believe me every good flan needs it. Milk – We’re using whole fat milk, I recommend keeping this ingredient as high fat as possible. Cream cheese – Keep at room temperature so that it blends easily. Eggs – We’re using both whole eggs and egg yolks, we’re using a lot of eggs for this recipe so be sure to stock up. Vanilla – Just a bit of vanilla extract to flavor our flan.
Leftovers
In the fridge this chocoflan will last up to 5 days, just be sure it’s stored in an airtight container.
Freezing
This chocoflan can also be frozen! In the freezer it’ll keep for up to a month due to the flan portion of the dessert. When thawing you’ll want to remove it from the freezer and allow to come to temperature in the fridge for a few hours, then remove it and allow to come up to room temperature right on the counter.
