Caramel Magic Cake

This delicious recipe has been generously shared by one of our great cooks, Carina. She’s always coming up with great recipes, and here we have a recipe for Caramel Cake Flan. It’s a cross between a Leche / Flan / Egg Custard and a cake! Carina first saw the recipe being shown on Pati’s Mexican

Food TV Show, and decided after scribbling down the recipe whilst watching the cook show, she would make it and see how it turned out, and here is the final product!

Carina says it is really AWESOME and yes, the possibilities are endless!
You could even line the bottom with apple or pear slices in the caramel so it comes out like an upside down cake!

Caramel Magic Cake Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 50 – 55 minutes
Yield: 8 moulds

I used ceramic moulds / ramekins ( mine are 4 inches diameter and 2 inches deep) and because I don’t have 8, I used 5 and added the remaining mix into one large baking dish.

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla

For the Flan:

1 12-oz can evaporated milk
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

For the base of the moulds:

1 cup dulce de leche
