This dessert gets its name because it combines a cake with a flan. If you're not a fan of chocolate, you can swap the cake mix for vanilla, coconut, or any flavor you prefer.

Steps

1

First, use a mixer to prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Set aside once everything is combined.
2

In a blender, mix all the flan ingredients: evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cream cheese, and vanilla to taste.
3

Grease and flour a cake pan. Pour in the chocolate cake batter first, then pour the flan mixture into the center. (The order doesn't really matter.)
4

After this step, do not mix or stir. Place the filled cake pan inside a larger pan filled with water to bake in a water bath (bain-marie).
5

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6

Remove from the oven, let cool, and unmold. You can drizzle with melted cajeta and sprinkle with pecans.
7

If you use vanilla cake, you can drizzle with rompope and decorate with pecans.
8

If your cake pan is flame-safe, you can melt 1 or 2 cups of sugar until clear (to make caramel), then pour in the batters and bake in a water bath as described above.

Refrigerate—it's even better if you chill it overnight!
