Espresso Chocoflan with a Hint of Cinnamon
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of cajeta or caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of espresso
- 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) of evaporated milk
- 5 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups of water
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of cajeta or caramel sauce with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a blender, combine 1/4 cup of espresso, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, 5 ounces of cream cheese, 4 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, using 1 1/4 cups of water and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil.
- Carefully pour the espresso-flavored flan mixture over the caramel sauce in the bundt pan.
- Gently spoon the prepared chocolate cake batter over the flan mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Cover the bundt pan with aluminum foil and place it in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the bundt pan.
- Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bundt pan from the water bath and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert the chocoflan onto a serving platter. Slice and enjoy!
