Our Creative Cooking Crew challenge this month is “chocolate”.
When I was younger my Mom used to make this for Three Kings Day (January 6th). Not having a recipe I went to cakecentral.com and found one that I thought was like the one she used to make.
This is my contribution to our challenge and I decided to add fresh fruits and mint to the finished product.
Recipe:
Caramel:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
Flan:
1 can evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cake:
1/2 box of super moist Betty Crocker chocolate fudge cake mix
1/2 butter stick (melted)
1 egg
3/4 cup water
Instructions:
Melt the sugar with water in a non-stick pan over low heat until golden in color. Inmediately pour over a bunt pan and swirl around to cover bottom and sides of pan. Pan will be HOT careful. You will have to be quick because it will start to harden as it cools down.
Blend all ingredients for the flan in a medium bowl until completely mixed, set aside.

Test if done by inserting a skewer or knife in the center and it comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes. Run a butter knife to loosen up edges and invert onto a plate. Add fruits and…

Festive and Delicious!
Really great presentation Norma! I enjoy a ‘Flancocho’ anytime of of the year! Several years ago, before retiring from teaching, I was introduced to them by a parent of one of my students. She gifted me a Pumpkin-flan/spiced-cake flancocho, the day before the Thanksgiving break. As we were feasting at my sisters, I bought the cake with me. Needless to say, not one slice was leftover and we were all licking our plates clean. I’m going to try your recipe as I have a household of chocolate lovers. Thanks for sharing!
Aida it’s always a pleasure receiving your comments. I am enjoying a piece right now.
Great go at challenge — your usual pizzazz in presentation and a very delicious dessert. Bravo!
