Chocoflan Recipe

What do you get when you combine chocolate cake and flan? Chocoflan! Okay, that was corny but now that that’s out of the way, I have to say this chocoflan was so good.

You probably have many questions as well. Is the chocolate cake moist? Does it go well with the custard etc? The chocolate cake is not super moist because let’s face it, you can’t have moist cake straight out of the fridge. And you can’t leave this cake at room temperature because custard has to be refrigerated. 

However, do not let that discourage you from making this. The chocolate cake and flan go great together. It all works out in the end. Creamy Flan on top of chocolate cake with some caramel sauce running through the flan and cake, Delicious.
