Description
Chocoflan is a magical, layered dessert combining moist chocolate cake, smooth vanilla flan, and a rich caramel glaze — all baked together in one Bundt pan and chilled to perfection.
Ingredients
- For the caramel:
- 200 g granulated sugar
- For the flan:
- 4 large eggs
- 120 g cream cheese (full fat)
- 380 g sweetened condensed milk
- 360 ml evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the chocolate cake:
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee
- 80 ml hot water
- 120 g unsalted butter, softened
- 100 ml vegetable oil
- 120 g granulated sugar
- 120 g soft light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 120 ml buttermilk
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch Bundt pan.
- Make the caramel: Melt 200 g sugar in a pan over medium heat, stirring until amber-colored. Pour into Bundt pan and tilt to coat bottom and sides slightly. Let harden.
- Prepare flan: Blend eggs, cream cheese, condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Sieve twice if desired for extra creaminess. Pour over set caramel.
- First bake: Cover Bundt pan with foil. Place in roasting pan filled halfway with boiling water. Bake 40 minutes.
- Make chocolate cake batter: Mix cocoa and coffee with hot water; let cool. Beat in butter, oil, sugars. Mix in eggs and buttermilk. Add flour and mix gently. Stir in vinegar+baking soda mixture.
- Second bake: Remove flan from oven. Carefully pour chocolate batter over flan. Bake uncovered 50–60 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool to room temperature. Chill at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- To serve, gently warm Bundt pan sides if needed and invert onto plate. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Instant coffee deepens chocolate flavor — optional.
- Use store-bought chocolate cake mix for convenience.
- Omit cream cheese in flan for a lighter custard.
- Chilling overnight ensures perfect layering and soft caramel.
