In my house we usually make the caramel, burning sugar, directly on the pan. Then we put the flan mixture which uses eggs, milk, corn starch, vanilla, etc ( no cream cheese ) Then we bake it for a couple of minutes then add the chocolate cake mixture then finish baking it off and the result is amazing! I've never seen a version like this but its totally fine because everyone has a different twist to it. 😜 Makes me proud as a Mexican to see other nationalities make Mexican dishes! 😁
Arlyne Rojas that's nice. I would like to learn how to make mexican food. I'm an Australian who was born in Malaysia and proud of it. I love Malaysian food too.
Whoops! I forgot the obvious step.....after you pour caramel into the bottom of the pan, pour the flan mix on top of it. Again, it all works out, so don't worry if it crackles/looks funny.
I have tried this recipe 3 times. Following the recipe very carefully and my flan never sets. Trying a bunch of recipes I found that if you use 1 whole cream cheese package instead of half and 5 whole eggs it works perfectly. Hope it helps of someone is having the same problem as me .
OMG, this came out great. It was a big hit at my job, a lot of people never tried it. I'm not a great baker, but this made be seem like an expert. Keep up the good work, Laura!!!!
If you like to eat sweetened condensed milk (like me) put the whole can in simmering water for like an hour and then when you open it up its caramel condensed milk..I think I saw his on Gemma bigger bolder baking (I watch a lot of channels but I'm pretty sure she taught me this) and it's amazing..give it a try! Love your channel I literally always make your stuff and it never disappoints xoxo
Laura first let me tell you, you are so good teaching us how to cook and I like it that you have a sense of humor. I love that receipt and I am like you, I love eating condense milk every time I make flan. Thank you and have a nice thanksgiving .
dominic antonino Delfin Maybe I didn't see the video correctly, but she poured the cake batter in first right? That means the cake batter is on the bottom, or when she flips it, the chocolate cake should be on the top. It isn't. Instead the flan is on the top. That's what Ria Dole was talking about. Please watch the video carefully.
When she put the chocolate part on the bottom when it appears wouldn't it be on the top when she flipped it over not on the bottom? Sorry if that was confusing but please respond.
hi!! that´s why it´s called impossible, because when it is on the cooking process it changes places, how?? i don´t know but it happens!! LOL delicious, u should try it!
My mom's friend sent me a chocoflan for my graduation not long ago and I wanted the recipe. When I asked for it she gave me exactly the same one as Laura's ( I looked up Laura's later when trying to remember the steps lol) then I asked her if she had watched the video but realized Laura posted the video AFTER she gave me the flan!!! UNBELIEVABLE! :)
hi, i love this cake, i'm mexican, this cake actually have 2 names one is chocoflan and the other is Pastel imposible (imposible cake) witch is funny cause is actually pretty easy. you can use caramel instead of cajeta but cajeta is much better, Laura you're alone i also eat condensed milk out of the can haha
I made this a few days ago. It was amazing, everyone loved it, and they are still talking about it! It tasted just like the kind they make in Chihuahua, Mex. Also, I kept a little bit of the flan mix and cooked it by itself on the stove top until it turned to a thick custard. It also was delicious!
Hi laura!! I'm making your chocoflan RIGHT now!!! First time making it! And i truly trust your word when it comes to your recipes! I've done several ones!! Thanks a lot! We say hi from las vegas nv
love this recipe alot! but can you put (at least) the list of exact ingredient in the description, or give us the direct link of the recipe for each video. honestly, it can be a hassle to actually having to be directed to your mass list of recipes when all we want is the recipe from the video we just watched. Thank you!
I cooked it last night and it tastes amazing! Thanks Laura :) P.s. to anyone who burned their carmel like I did lol, let the carmel cool in the fridge along with the cake and it won't taste burnt :D Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!
I wanted to reply to someone's comment (but somehow I don't have that option) about how "it's not called 'cajeta,' but 'dulce de leche.'" They're two different things.... cajeta is Mexican and dulce de leche is more South American. They're similar, but cajeta is made from goat's milk, so the flavor is more complex.
her version make very difficult . its very popular here in philippines . the engridients are 10 egg yolks 1 can condense milk and 1 can evaporated milk and just a little bit of vanilla extract .. and for the caramel just put 5 tbsp or 7 tbsp
I always do this, but with another recipe. I use ready cake box, and make the flan at home. Its amazing how you put first the cake, and then flan, and how the flan goes thru the cake down the base of the pan!!
Hi to all of you that are wondering about why at the end of baking the chocoflan the cake part is on the bottom and the flan is on top is because the flan mixture is heavier than the cake so when it bakes the flan sinks to the bottom, the mixtures have different densities, so you need to do it like laura is making it in the video, first the caramel then the cake batter and last the flan mixture
Laura here in Portugal, when me and my brother were little my mother served us once in a while condensed milk from the can to dessert (just a little bit). When im baking i cant resist condensed milk... so you're not alone!! ;)
ever since i introduced my son to condense milk on bread he got hooked! for a quick frosting I melt chocolate, any type, like "kisses" with condense milk and spread on my cake yum! Laura this chocoflan looks super delicious! Wow you sure know how to celebrate 5 de Mayo with delicious food!
Homemade sweetened condensed milk. A friend who lives on a large ranch in Montana (25 miles from town) shared this with me. Mix and blend to smooth 1 c. Instant dry milk, 2/3 c. sugar , 1/3 c. boiling water. and 3 tsp butter. She tells me they have never run out of SCM but have tried this recipe. so they know it works.
Laura Vitale, you are not alone I absolutely LOVE condensed milk❤️ especially with a lightly toasted croissant to dip with😋, delightful must be a try for anyone!
My cake looked almost like yours. It was pretty good and I liked making something different. I took it to a luncheon and there wasn't much left. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Laura, how are you? 💐😊. I love all your recipes!ive tried many and everything comes up soooo good and tasty😋! Thank you very much for your help and your amazing talents in the kitchen! I'm one of the many fortunate to be your follower!!! God bless you! Maria
Wow, this was incredible. My mom, who is a great dessert critic, loved this recipe. She thought it was unique and a beautiful blend of flavors. Perfect dessert to make before Cinco de Mayo! ;) definitely recommend it to anyone
if you want layers bake the cake first then once the cake is cooled and the flan mixture pour it on top and put it in the firgde over night or for four hours/ i am a mexican myself and my mom owns a mixican bakery and it tastes amazing!!
FlanCake is very popular these days, especially in the West Coast. Absolutely love this! It offers the best of both worlds and is the perfect treat with a cup of coffee...YUM! Beautiful job as usual Laura. Thank you for sharing :-)
I love you your channel!! And no you are not the only one that does that with the condensed Milk, my grandmother makes the best flan that I've ever had in my life and she always (and i mean always) saved me the can of condensed milk with a little spoon in it (i love my grandma😍) in the fridge, no one was allowed to touch it because it was for me ❤🍮🍮🍮
I have lived in Mexico for 7 years now and I have STILL never tried Chocoflan! (and by the way.......I am addicted to Lechera......or sweetened condensed milk!) I am going to make this this year for Posada and serve it with your coconut ice cream on the side! Until then........I shall be doing sit-ups!!!!
I love eating sweet condensed milk, I actually bought one today is called "la lecherita" and it's a mini individual size one, its just .99 cents so good, it's great to just put it on top of your ice cream or cookies even bread! Yum!
i used cake mix instead, cant find all-purpose flour. but this turned out GREAT and so DELICIOUS!!! i thought i messed up when i put the flan over the cake batter when they kinda mixed together and i also lick condensed milk from the spoon. so yay!!! will make another one this weekend.
The flan ended up in the bottom because when she poured it over the chocolate batter, it SLOWLY sinks to the bottom. Flan batter and cake batter are two seperate things. So, they don't stick or mix together, it separates. & that's where the water comes in handy. It helps the flan turn solid.
watching this during night time makes me wanna go and ask my mom to make one.......omg....but the way you did it laura looked so delicious yet different from my mom's....
Hey Laura! Recently, some people visited our house and brought us this amazing Italian wedding bar cake. It was delicious! And i immediately thought of you, an Italian! My mom really liked it and I wanted to make it for her birthday. Can you make a video to show us how to make it? Thanks!
Even though you pour the flan mixture on top, once its starts baking the consistency of the flan gets denser and heavier than that of the cake so it sinks to the bottom of the pan. So when it's done and inverted, the flan is on top.
Chocoflan is one of my favourite desserts and I would Really recomend to use cajeta. It's delicious and once you try it you'll be eating it directly from the bottle as well
Thanks for your reply. I'm planning to do it this weekend for my family and I already did a chocolate cake so I want to do something different. Thanks again!
yes, you are correct. i apologize.. i was also confused, but someone else here just explained it. the 2 batters have diff. densities so the flan rises or falls during baking.
When the cake cooks it rises and the flan is like a custard, so it is denser and sinks to the bottom. I think you add them in the opposite order so the flan doesnt burn and also to allow the flavors to blend. :)
I just made this recipe and came out really delicious, my family loved it, but mine wasn't as pretty as yours. Your recipes are always delightful. Thank you Laura.
In Mexico we call it the Impossible Cake as well, thats the whole point of it you never want to put in the flan part first because when you add the cake batter it will mix in with the flan and turn it brown looking too.
Here in Mexico la lechera is a very popular brand of condensed milk and there's also la lecherita which are little cans of condensed milk I buy a few of those and eat it with some apple slices or banana and some pecans
Hi Laura!!! Here in Brasil, condensed milk is very popular, and everyone eats it out of the can, although, they won´t admit it... And there´s a very unique desert we make it with, it´s called BRIGADEIRO, you should try it sometime, it´s really easy to make... Love your videos!!!
