Coffee Chocoflan Recipes

CHOCOFLAN

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Coat a Bundt pan with a little butter, then coat the bottom with 1/4 cup cajeta and put it in a large roasting pan. (The roasting pan will serve as a water bath during baking.)
• For the cake: Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa in a medium bowl. Beat 1/3 of the flour mixture, and 1/2 of the buttermilk into the egg mixture. Repeat, ending with the flour mixture. Blend until well incorporated.
• For the flan: In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream cheese, eggs and vanilla. Blend on high for 30 seconds.
• Scoop the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spreading evenly. Slowly pour the flan mixture over the cake batter. Cover with foil and add about 1-inch of hot water to the roasting pan.
• Carefully slide the pan into the oven, and bake 1 hour, until the surface of the cake is firm to the touch, or an inserted toothpick comes out clean. When cake is done, remove from the water bath and cool completely to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Invert a large, rimmed serving platter over the Bundt pan, grasp tightly together, jiggle a little and flip over. Remove the pan and scrape any remaining cajeta from the pan onto the cake, garnish with chopped pecans and serve!

• Carefully slide the pan into the oven and bake until the surface of the cake is firm to the touch, or an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour. When the cake is done, remove from the water bath and cool completely to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Run the tip of a sharp paring knife along the edge of the Bundt pan to loosen. Invert a large, rimmed serving platter over the Bundt pan, grasp tightly together, jiggle it a little and flip over to release the chocoflan from the pan. Garnish the cake with some chopped pecans. Place some mixed berries in the center of the chocoflan then sprinkle the entire thing with powdered sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a 10- to 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in the 1/4 cup caramel sauce to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
• For the chocolate cake: Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until well combined; set aside.
• Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition until fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, as necessary.
• Add one-third of the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. Add 3/4 cup of the buttermilk and mix until combined. Repeat with another one-third of the dry ingredients and the remaining 3/4 cup buttermilk, ending with the remaining dry ingredients. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, as necessary. Set aside.
• For the flan: In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream cheese, eggs and vanilla. Blend until combined, about 1 minute.
• Spoon the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread it evenly. Slowly pour the flan mixture over the cake batter. Cover the pan with foil and transfer it to a roasting pan. Pour in enough boiling water to come about 2 inches up the side of the Bundt pan and carefully transfer to the oven.
• Bake until the surface of the cake is springy and a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove the Bundt pan from the oven and let the chocoflan cool in the Bundt pan at room temperature for 2 hours. Invert onto a serving platter and serve warm with berries in the middle and drizzled with more caramel sauce or refrigerate for 24 hours.

COFFEE FLAN

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cook sugar in a dry small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar melts into a deep golden caramel. Immediately pour into a 9-inch round ceramic or glass baking dish or metal cake pan (2 inches deep) and tilt dish to coat bottom (use caution, dish will be hot). Cool until hardened, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Blend remaining ingredients in a blender, in 2 batches if your blender is small, until smooth. Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve over caramel in dish, then transfer dish to a 17- by 11-inch roasting pan lined with a kitchen towel. Cover dish loosely with a piece of foil, then pour enough boiling-hot water into roasting pan to reach 1 inch up side of dish. Bake until custard is set but still wobbly in center when gently shaken and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Transfer dish to a rack to cool completely, about 40 minutes. Chill flan, covered, until cold, at least 8 hours.
• To unmold flan, run a thin knife around edge of dish to loosen flan. Invert a large platter with a lip over dish. Holding dish and platter securely together, quickly invert and turn out flan onto platter. Caramel will pour out over and around flan.
