Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Caramel

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of sugar until golden brown and smooth.
2. Immediately pour the caramel into a greased Bundt pan and tilt the pan to spread it evenly. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Flan

1. In a blender, mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
2. Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the Bundt pan.

Step 3: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy.
3. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
4. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt, alternating with milk, until the batter is smooth.
5. Gently pour the cake batter over the flan layer. (Don’t mix! The layers will naturally swap while baking.)

Step 4: Bake the Cake

1. Cover the Bundt pan with foil and place it inside a larger roasting pan.
2. Fill the larger pan with hot water (about halfway up the Bundt pan) to create a water bath.
3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake layer comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

1. Let the cake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
2. To unmold, place a plate over the Bundt pan and carefully flip it over.
3. Slice and enjoy your Flan Cake with Caramel Drizzle!
