  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
  • 1 ½ tsp (6g) baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter , room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk

Cream Cheese Flan

  • 1 package (8oz -230g) cream cheese , room temperature
  • 4 eggs , room temperature
  • 2 tsp (10g) vanilla extract
  • 1 can (14oz- 397g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12oz -350g) evaporated milk

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan add sugar. Melt over low-medium heat until golden, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour the hot caramel  into the bottom of a slightly greased 9-10 inch (23-25cm) bundt pan. Swirl the pan to spread evenly. Set aside.

Prepare the vanilla cake mixture.

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
  • In a medium whisk the flour with baking powder  and salt. Set aside until ready to use.
  • In a large mixing bowl add butter and sugar and mix until creamy. Incorporate eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add flour mixture alternating with milk.
  • Pour the batter into the bundt pan over the caramel. Set aside.

Prepare cream cheese flan.

  • In a large bowl mix cream cheese until smooth. Incorporate eggs one at a time, vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Mix well until combined.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the vanilla cake batter into the bundt pan.
  • Place the bundt pan into a larger pan, and add boiling water halfway up the sides of the pan.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top starts to golden too fast add aluminum foil on top of the cake and continue baking.
  • Remove the bundt pan from the oven and from the larger pan and let cool to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate for 4 hours or better overnight.
  • Before removing the cake from the pan place it again in a larger pan filled with hot water for easier removal.
  • Invert the cake onto a plate and serve.
