Chocolate/Coffee Flan Cake
Flan is traditionally a sweet caramel custard served chilled for dessert. This Cocao Flan is more than JUST flan, it’s got a super moist cake that is on the bottom flavored with a mix of both chocolate and coffee!
This dessert is known in Mexico as the “Impossible Flan” because the layering of a cake with a flan in one dessert looks impossible to achieve. And the Variation of a popular Mexican dessert–an almost magical cake that separates into distinct layers of cake and flan, reversing layers during baking.
I have always wanted to make this recipe for my family, as they like both chocolate and Flan desserts, so I thought a combination of both in a cake would be a great idea and they are going to love it!
So for this cake, first you’re going to want to caramelize some sugar and pour it into your bundt pan, then swirl it around to coat the sides.Then you have to prepare the chocolate cake batter, then pour it over the caramel. At last, you will prepare the flan mixture, and pour it over the cake batter in your pan.
And let the Magic begins! :)
The cake batter and the flan mixture will be layered in the pan, but will magically switch places during baking. When you unmold the dessert, the flan will be on top and the cake on the bottom.
And “voila” ! delicious, super-moist chocolate, caramel flan in a cake is ready to be eaten! Someone hand me a fork plz :)
Will leave you with the full recipe, Enjoy!
