Our Beautiful Mess: Magic Chocolate Flan Cake
First up, here’s an enticing look at what we’re aiming to create:
Ingredients
To whip up this stunning cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Additional chocolate for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Now that we have everything ready, let’s dive into the steps to create this luscious dessert:
- Start by making the caramel. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden amber color. Quickly pour the caramel into a round bundt cake pan, tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool.
- Next, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a large baking pan for a water bath.
- In a blender, combine the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully pour the mixture into the cooled caramel-coated bundt pan.
- Prepare the water bath by placing the bundt pan in the larger baking pan and filling the larger pan with water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the bundt pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bundt pan from the water bath. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the cake and invert it onto a serving platter. If desired, garnish with shavings of chocolate.
