Looking for something a little different from the regular Flan I usually make with a Mexican meal and ran across this. Everyone loved it, I followed the directions right down to the type of caramel, loved the layers in the cake. One thing I would warn others about is just because the top cake part is finished and toothpick comes out clean, does NOT mean the flan is finished. I almost ruined the whole thing by taking it out, cooling 15 minutes and turning out, flan was still runny and poured all over, I quickly turned it back (lost a lot of flan) and returned to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, next time came out perfect. Lesson learned, but so worth the effort. Live and learn I guess

I have a very close version to this recipe that calls for using 2 cans of the evaporated milk instead of just 1 and making the yellow cake mix as directed on the box. Since I am married to a Cuban it would be sinful to make this without the correct "caramel topping", which is just melting sugar in the bundt pan prior to adding all other ingredients. I also baked uncovered in a water bath, chill for 8 hours before flipping.This makes the cake super moist and wonderful!

I would have rated this a five star, as I was familiar with flan cakes and what was missing, placing the bundt pan in another pan, filled with hot water and placing it in the oven making sure that the bundt pan with the ingredients is covered tightly with foil. I used a chocolate mix, and it was terrific.

I love this recipe!!! I did just a little tweaking of the recipe. Instead of using the caramel topping I made my own caramel by melting sugar in a saucepan and coating the bottom half of the bundt cake pan. and I also cooked it for a little longer, I cooked it 10 min longer than what the recipe called for. a total of 55min. I am definately making this again very soon. The chocolate dipped strawberries complimented the cake very nicely. It is however, very important to make this cake in a bundt pan.

I love the original recipe but I have been experimenting with it a bit. I added 1 (14 oz) can of coconut milk to the Flan, instead of yellow cake mix I used Pineapple Cake Mix, substituted the water for milk and the canola oil for butter. It might not be the healthiest version but it's very popular among my friends. Thanks for sharing the original recipe. Happy baking!
