Chocoflan Cake

 This easy  latin Chocoflan cake is moist and delicious. A combination of flan and chocolate cake with a drizzle of caramel sauce. The perfect dessert to serve for any occasion. I really love this hybrid idea and believe it or not is so easy to make and will definitely wow your guests.

Chocoflan Cake - this easy latin cake is moist and delicious. A combination of flan and chocolate cake with a drizzle of caramel sauce. Perfect dessert.

I grew up eating flan. My mom used to make it when guests came over. It’s creamy, sweet, and very soft. I don’t know anybody who wouldn’t even steal a spoonful. Flan is so versatile and it’s easy to customize it.

For instance, around the Holidays I make it with Eggnog. Other times I’ve made it with Dulce de Leche.

Now chocolate cake does not need any type of introduction. In Spanish, we say “It’s a shot to the floor” meaning it’s a sure hit. Who doesn’t love a good piece of chocolate cake? If you don’t, substitute with Vanilla, Spice, Carrot, or whatever your heart desires.

The Chocoflan Cake works because both flavors and textures complement each other beautifully. The flan gives moisture and softness to the cake while the Chocolate gives it structure and lots of flavor. The Dulce de Leche on top just takes it to the next level. To me, it’s a showstopper and something different and exotic.

Some people call this Chocoflan Cake the Impossible Cake since something strange happens to the cooking process: the layers switch over during baking.

We start first with the caramel, we add the chocolate cake and finally we finish off with the flan. When the cake is in the oven, the chocolate cake rises over the flan and ends up at the bottom. Kinda cool right?

Making Chocoflan Cake is SUPER EASY and doesn’t require a huge list of ingredients. I made a video tutorial for you below in case you like to see the process. It’s my first cooking video so be easy on me :). I promise to get better and produce more cooking videos in the future.

I hope you can make this delicious ChocoFlan Cake at home. If you do, please tag me on Instagram @livingsweetmoments and use the hashtag #LivingSweet – I promise to Repost it.

Ingredients

  • 8 Eggs
  • 12 oz Evaporated Milk can
  • 14 oz Condensed Milk can
  • 1 Box of Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup Butter 1 stick and melted
  • 1 1/4 Cups Milk
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Water
  • Nonstick Spray
  • 1/4 Cup Dulce De Leche
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit

To make Caramel

  • Spray the inside of a bundt pan with nonstick spray
  • In a saucepan, add the sugar and water. Cook on medium heat until the sugar dissolves and develops an amber caramel color. Stir throughout the process
  • Pour the caramel on the inside of the bundt pan. Swirl the pan all around so the caramel distributes evenly

To Make chocolate cake

  • Place 3 eggs, melted butter, milk and cake mix in a bowl. Mix with a whisk until all the ingredients come together and create a cake batter
  • Pour the cake in the bundt pan over the caramel in a circular motion so the ingredients distribute evenly

For Flan

  • Crack 5 eggs and place them on the blender, add the condensed milk and evaporated milk inside the blender. Turn the machine on and let all the ingredients combine
  • Pour the flan on top of the cake mixture in a circular motion all over the bundt pan
  • Cover the top of the bundt pan with foil
  • Place bundt pan inside a larger pan filled with 2 inches of boiling water
  • Bake in the oven for approximately 1 hour. After an hour insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake. Cake is done when toothpick comes out clean
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool in a baking rack for 1 hour
  • Place in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours
  • Invert bundt pan on a cake plate and jiggle it. Cake should come off easily
  • Place Dulce de Leche in the microwave and heat it up for about 30 seconds to loosen it
  • Drizzle it all over the cake
  • Enjoy!

    Oh, we love flan in the Philippines – it’s our favorite dessert! I have never made one with chocolate and now you have inspired me. Your flan looks so delicious!

    What a cool cake and an even cooler trick in how ti bakes! I love flan, the concept of layer cakes made in a single pan, and the fact that the layers switch during baking.

    You meant 30 seconds for the dulche de leche, not 30 minutes, right? Just checking.

        does the chocoflan need to be stored in the refrigerator or can it keep at room temperature in a cake dish?

          Hi CJ! Since it has flan on it, I recommend keeping it in the fridge until ready to serve

    you mentioned butter for the cake because its mentioned on the box or its a must?

      Hi Marwa, it is not mentioned in the box. I used butter to give the chocolate cake a more “homemade” taste. If you’d like you can just follow the exact directions on the box

    The first time I ever had chocoflan it was store bought from a Mexican store in California. Loved it. When I cam back to North Carolina I was craving that delicious treat again. I’m so happy to have found this recipe! I’ve made it several times and it’s turned out perfect every time. Thank you so much!

      Hi Ngoc, layers separate during the baking process. But the cake needs to cool overnight in order for the flan to properly set. Did you try the recipe already?

    I tried your recipe and it turned out great ! Question – The caramelized sugar that is placed first in the pan (prior to baking) most of it stayed in the pan when I inverted it. It still tasted great however I believe that caramelized sugar would have added a little more sweetness to the cake? Everyone preferred it without the Dulce de Leche. Any tips on preventing the sugar from staying in the pan ?

      Hi Naomi, sometimes when the chocoflan is in the fridge, some of the caramel solidifies. Next time when you unmold the cake. Place the empty mold on a hot water bath to see if the caramel melts a bit and then add that on top of your cake.

    Hi Tiffany,
    In Mexico (at least where I am from) this cake is called “Diplomatico” , but I know in the USA is called “Chocoflan”, I think “diplomatico” sounds more elegeant 😉
    On a side note, I make my flan with cream cheese and it’s delicious!! it turns out more dense and also, I love bananas so sometimes I add banana to the flan mix for banana flavor.

      You got that right Veronica… diplomatico does sound more elegant!
      And yes! with cream cheese it’s delish! Banana I hate yet to try, thanks for the suggestion

        No but as soon as i poured my flan mix it looked more watery than yours? In your video yours looks thick mine sank as soon as i poured it maybe i need to blend it less time. My flan looked like dark flan. Im using a super moist chocolate fudge cale mix is that ok?
