Equipment

bundt pan
Large roasting pan for bain-marie

Ingredients

For The Caramel

1 cup cajeta or homemade caramel

For The Flan

1 12 oz can of evaporated milk
1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
4 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
4 eggs room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

For The Chocolate Cake

1 chocolate cake mix
3 eggs room temperature
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease a Bundt pan thoroughly, then pour in the cajeta. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
To prepare the flan, add 4 eggs, cream cheese, vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Gently pour the flan mixture into the prepared Bundt pan. Place the Bundt pan inside a large roasting pan and carefully add 1 inch of hot water to the roasting pan. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
While the flan bakes, prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package instructions.
After 20 minutes, carefully remove the flan from the oven. Gently pour the chocolate cake batter over the flan and spread it evenly. Cover the Bundt pan with aluminum foil, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F, and bake for 55 minutes, or until the cake is fully cooked.
Remove the Bundt pan from the oven and carefully take it out of the water bath. Allow it to cool at room temperature for 1–2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Once chilled, run a thin knife around the outer and inner edges of the Bundt pan to loosen the cake. Place a large serving plate upside down over the pan, then carefully invert both together. Gently lift off the Bundt pan, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

I used 3 eggs, ½ cup of oil, and 1 cup of water for my boxed chocolate cake mix. If you're using a different brand, follow the ingredient quantities listed on the box.
