Mexican Chocolate cake with Flan
Posted by Banu on September 11, 2006
Recipe from Amy’s Cookbook
**** Ingredients *****
1 box chocolate cake – prepare as directed
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup condensed milk
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 bottle/jar Coronado Cajeta (try to find a squeeze bottle easier to handle than the jar – find this at any Mexican grocery store like Fiesta, and Albertson’s may carry it – not for sure.)
*** Directions*****
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease and flour a bunt cake pan.
- Mix the chocolate cake as directed and keep to the side.
- In a blender mix the evaporated milk, condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla.
- Squeeze or pour into the cake pan a thin layer of the cajeta. (If you use the squeeze bottle go around the pan twice with the cajeta)
- Pour the milk mixture from the blender into the pan.
- Pour the chocolate cake mixture next. Don’t worry if the milk mixture comes over on top of the cake. Just make sure that the cake is evenly distributed in the pan.
- Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until you poke the cake with a stick and it comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for 15minutes and flip onto a plate. You can also top the cake with chopped nuts
- To store the cake cover and place in the refrigerator.

Recipe looks great– wondering if you know a way to bake this all from scratch, sans the baking mix? I want to try it for one of my jar cakes. Have you heard of canning cakes or brownies? This is what it looks like: EmilysEdibles.etsy.com
Let me know about this recipe if you have a moment though, I’d love to try it soon! I doubt it would work for a jar cake thought, with all the eggs and refrigeration needed. Yummmm
Thanks!
