Chocoflan is a gorgeous dessert that is \u2014 as its name deliciously promises \u2014 1\/2 chocolate cake, 1\/2 flan<\/a>. What is not to love about this double delicioso postre?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d think that in this recipe from MariCarmen Ortiz Conway<\/a>, one of our favorite and most gifted Mexican cooks (as well as a renowned tequila expert<\/a>), would make the chocolate cake part from scratch. Nope! MariCarmen calls for using a chocolate box mix. \u201cUsing a chocolate mix is<\/em> the point,\u201d says MariCarmen. \u201cYou can use any kind of box from the store, whatever you like best. I like the devil’s chocolate flavored ones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make chocoflan, here are the four basic steps, says MariCarmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Buy your favorite brand of chocolate cake mix from the store and prepare the batter.

Step 2: Pour 1 cup of store-bought caramel or 1 cup of homemade dulce de leche into a generously buttered bundt cake or flan mold. Except be sure to use a taller than usual mold because you are going to have a double-size dessert: a full cake batter plus<\/em> a full flan custard mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Mix the flan ingredients in the blender, as you normally would, say MariCarmen. Set aside until ready to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Pour all the cake batter on the bottom layer, over the caramel. Next, pour the entire batch of flan custard on top of the chocolate mix. Don’t worry about the chocolate and flan layers mixing into each other, they will each stay in their own section, naturally. Then bake. Place your mold into a warm water bath in a 350\u00b0 oven for 1 hour \u2014 and felicidades, you have made chocoflan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muy importante, warns MariCarmen: Once baked, the chocoflan must<\/em> cool<\/em> completely<\/em> before you attempt to remove it from the cake mold. \u201cThis is the secret. Never transfer it hot, or it will break apart. You must wait and it will come out perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chocoflan
Chocoflan dessert Familia Kitchen is half chocolate cake, half flan and 100% delicioso. This is one of our favorite desserts ever in the Familia Kitchen community. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When she is ready to serve chocoflan, MariCarmen tells Familia Kitchen she always makes a big show of it: \u201cI always ask everyone to pray,\u201d she teases. \u201dThen we have a moment of silence, and I flip it over in front of them.\u201d Drama aside, it always turns out perfectly, she reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChocoflan is really pretty. The caramel or dulce de leche slowly rolls down from the top, over the sides. And you have the two contrasting colors, the dark of chocolate and the pale cream of the flan. It is so beautiful,\u201d says MariCarmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
