Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a water bath by filling a roasting pan halfway with water.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix sugar, 2 eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients to form the chocolate cake batter.
- Grease a bundt or round cake pan and pour caramel sauce evenly over the bottom.
- Pour chocolate batter into the prepared pan.
- In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, and remaining 2 eggs. Blend until completely smooth.
- Gently pour the flan mixture over the chocolate batter.
- Place the cake pan into the prepared water bath.
- Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake layer comes out clean and the flan is set with a slight jiggle.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Run a knife along the edges, place a serving plate on top, and carefully flip to unmold.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Pour the flan mixture slowly over the back of a spoon to prevent mixing layers.
- Always use a water bath for even cooking and smooth texture.
- Chill completely before unmolding for clean layers.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
