Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your Bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water for caramel, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer until golden brown, and swirl into the Bundt pan to coat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for the chocolate cake. In another bowl, stir together the wet ingredients.
  4. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Slowly add hot water, mixing until smooth.
  5. In a blender, combine ingredients for the flan mixture and blend until smooth.
  6. Pour the chocolate batter over the caramel layer, then gently pour the flan mixture on top without disturbing the chocolate batter.
Baking
  1. Place the Bundt pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  2. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a plate.
Serving
  1. Serve warm or chilled, drizzled with additional caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder. Allow dessert to cool in the fridge for better flan setting. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
