Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for your Chocoflan:
For the Flan
- 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup of evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Cake
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder

Let’s Get Baking
Ready to turn your kitchen into a dessert wonderland? Follow these simple steps:
-
Caramel Time: In a saucepan, melt 1 cup of sugar over medium heat, stirring gently until it turns a golden brown. Quickly pour it into the bottom of a bundt pan (watch out—it’s hot!). Swirl the pan to coat the bottom.
-
Flan Mixture: In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, then set aside.
-
Chocolate Cake Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the vegetable oil and boiling water, mixing until just combined (don’t worry if it’s a bit lumpy; it adds character!).
-
Assembly Required: Carefully pour the flan mixture over the caramel in the prepared bundt pan, and then gently pour the chocolate cake batter on top of the flan. (This will create the layered effect as it bakes—magic!)
-
Baking Time: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bundt pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (this helps the flan cook evenly). Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
-
Chill Out: Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you’re feeling super organized).
-
Serve Up the Magic: When you’re ready to impress, invert the Chocoflan onto a serving plate. Stand back and watch the ooohs and aaahs—it’s a glorious sight!
Cooking Tips
- Don’t stress if your caramel looks a bit clumpy when you pour it into the pan; that’s all part of the rustic charm of homemade desserts.
- For an extra flavor kick, try adding a tablespoon of espresso powder to the chocolate cake batter. It enhances that rich chocolate flavor and makes it sing!
- If you’re short on time, you can make the flan mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake.
