INGREDIENTS

For the caramel:

210 g (1 cup) sugar

For the flan:

4 eggs

130g (1/2 cup) cream cheese

370ml (1 1/2 cups) evaporated milk

390g (1 1/4 cups) condensed milk

Vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

For the chocolate batter:

60g (1/2 cup) cocoa powder

5g instant coffee

90ml (1/2 cup) water

130g butter

110g (1/2 cup) sugar

110g (1/2 cup) light brown sugar

110ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil

4 eggs

130ml (1/2 cup) buttermilk

210g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour

5g baking soda

10g (1/2 tbsp) white vinegar

METHOD

1. In a saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and deep amber in color. Pour the caramel into a 24 cm cake mold, swirling to coat the bottom. Set aside to cool.

2. In a blender, add the eggs, cream cheese, condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, then strain and pour over the cooled caramel in the cake mold.

3. Wrap the bottom of the cake mold with aluminum foil. Place it in a baking tray and pour hot water into the tray until it reaches halfway up the sides of the mold. Bake at 180°C/360°F for 40 minutes.

4. In a bowl, combine the cocoa powder, instant coffee and water, whisking until smooth. Add the butter, sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, flour, baking soda and white vinegar. Mix until you obtain a smooth, lump-free batter.

5. Pour the chocolate batter over the partially baked flan. Remove the foil and bake uncovered at 180°C/360°F for 50 minutes.

6. Let the cake cool completely at room temperature. Flip onto a serving plate, slice and enjoy.
