More About This Recipe

  • Beyond looking and tasting spectacular, this Chocoflan cake does something truly marvelous during the baking process; the custardy flan and the cake batter trade places. It’s a mind-blowing effect that occurs during baking when the chocolate cake batter takes shape and rises to the top of the pan, before the custard has set. It’s true baking magic that produces a multilayered cake that tastes as good as it looks. A Betty Crocker™ five-star recipe and a box of her triple chocolate fudge cake mix make this recipe extra easy. And this is just one way to enjoy this favorite dessert; Betty’s got even more flan recipes for you to try!

Ingredients

Cake

Flan

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray. Pour and spread caramel topping in bottom of pan.
  • Step 
    2
    In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and 3 eggs with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over caramel topping in pan.
  • Step 
    3
    In blender, place Flan ingredients. Cover; blend on high speed about 20 seconds or until smooth. Slowly pour mixture evenly over batter. (Flan mixture will mix with batter, but they will separate during baking, forming 1 layer of cake and 1 layer of flan.)
  • Step 
    4
    Spray piece of foil with cooking spray, and place sprayed side down over top of pan; cover tightly. Place cake pan in large roasting pan; add 1 inch of hot water to roasting pan.
  • Step 
    5
    Bake 1 hour 20 minutes to ensure cake AND flan layer bake completely (toothpick inserted in center of cake will come out clean). Remove cake pan from water bath to cooling rack; remove foil. Cool at room temperature 1 hour. Refrigerate in pan, uncovered, 2 hours.
  • Step 
    6
    Remove from refrigerator; run thin metal spatula around outer and inside edges of pan to loosen cake. Place serving plate upside down on cake pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan. Spoon any remaining caramel from pan over top of cake. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
