Ingredients

Flan

  • 1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
  • 1 14 ounce can condensed milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Cake

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs

Method

  1. Place a Bain Maire (water bath) on a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F.

Flan

  1. In the blender add the evaporated and condensed milk, eggs, cream cheese, and vanilla. Blend for two minutes.

Cake

  1. In a large bowl add water eggs and oil as directed on package. Mix until smooth.

Assemble

  1. Pour the cake batter into a well-greased bundt pan.
  2. Carefully spoon the flan mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter. The flan will sink to the bottom of the bundt pan as the cake bakes, like magic!
  3. Position the bundt pan in a Bain Marie (water bath) in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes.
  4. Remove and place pan on a wire rack to cool. When cake has reached room temperature place the bundt pan in the fridge overnight.

Serve

  1. When ready to serve dip the bundt pan in hot water for 30 seconds before turning out on to a serving platter.
  2. Serve with fresh fruit or top with dulce de leche.
  3. Store cake in the fridge.

Cooks Notes

If desired drizzle with dulche de leche.  

 

Use any flavor of cake mix, chocolate, strawberry, or spice would all be great!
