chocoflan...

so good.... another mexican recipe that i want to remember and share... last month when my visiting teachers were over, we got talking about chocoflan and i mentioned that i want to know how to make it... it is so goood! so... we got together last night and hermana sotelo taught us how to make chocoflan... ( the bottom half of the cake/flan is chocolate cake and the top layer is flan)

• chocolate cake mix, any kind, whatever you prefer... then mix it according to the directions on the box. set aside.


• next the flan mixture: 4 large eggs or 5 small eggs, 1 can of leche clavel (evaporated milk), 1 can lechera (sweetened condensed milk), 1 box of media crema or 1/2 bar of cream cheese (whichever you prefer), 1 tsp of vanilla. mix in blender until smooth.


• "grease" a bundt pan with caramel or dulce de leche, (that is what i used) and then pour in about half the cake mix, then about 4 cups of the flan mixture.


• next you will place the bundt pan in another 8x8 or 9x9 pan that has hot water it in, "bano maria"... then place all of this in the oven at 350 F or 180 C for the time that is indicated on the cake box for bundt cake... probably about 30 to 35 mins.


• when you take the cake out, immediately take the bundt pan out of the bano maria and put it in a ice cold bath to chill the flan as soon as possible. when it is cool enough, place in refrigerator to cool faster. next flip out the cake on a platter and there it is. (dont leave the cake in the pan too long or it wont come out of the pan clean) finish cooling for a few more hours in the refrigerator, until completely cooled, before serving.


• eat!!!
