Recipe Impossible Cake or choco-flan cake
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well!. I have a long time that I do not share any recipe that I have or have seen in the day.
I was reading a recipe for choco-flan a while ago, which I hope I can do these days, and I want to share it with you. I hope we try to do it, and it turns out well. I will tell you that this cake is called "Cake of choco-flan or impossible cake, although it should not be so impossible, if it exists is because it was possible to be done, certainly it may be difficult.
According to the reading it is a recipe of only 3 steps; sounds simple.
Ingredients for the choco-flan or impossible cake:
There are three steps that we will do in parts, first the candy that goes in the bottom that when turning will be the top of the cake, then the quesillo or flan in the middle and finally the chocolate cake.
For the candy we will need:
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
Ingredients for quesillo or flan:
- 5 eggs
- 1 can of condensed milk of 395 gr
- 395 gr of milk (we will use the measure of the can of condensed milk)
- 1 spoon of vanilla.
Ingredients for the wet chocolate cake
- 4 eggs
- 1 and 1/2 cup of wheat flour
- 1 cup cocoa or chocolate powder (not instant)
- 1 and 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (10 gr)
- Crown mold 24 cm diameter or one round 20 cm
Choco-flan preparation or impossible cake:
Step 1 - The Caramel:
The first thing we must do before anything is to have the mold in buttery to have it ready for when the candy is ready. Start with the caramel and put a small pot over medium heat, add the half cup of sugar and a 1/4 cup of water. Let it caramelize alone for this we must not remove it or touch it because doing so will crystallize the sugar will be lumps is not what we want. The heat will do its job on its own.
We have to be very careful, because when it starts to take color we must lower the flame and move the pot with circular movements so that it caramelizes evenly and when the color is light caramel we must immediately empty it into the mold that we have previously greased. And I say fast because even if we put out the fire it burns the same.
Step 2 - Preparation of Quesillo or flan:
Beat by hand in a large bowl or in the blender as you prefer the 5 eggs, condensed milk, the same measure of the condensed can in whole milk and the vanilla spoonful. We will add this mixture to the mold where we have emptied the caramel that by now is cold and hard.
We will bake at 220ºC for 20 minutes this quesillo at Bain Mary, this is important so that it does not burn on the bottom or on the sides and it looks very nice, while it is baking we are going to prepare the chocolate cake mixture.
Step 3 - Preparation of the wet chocolate cake:
Easier impossible, all we have to do is mix all the ingredients by hand in a bowl and that's it. Is not it a wonder? It seems incredible that the simplest is the richest. Well this is the case of this cake .. when I do it alone I cover it with nutella and I give myself life!.
After 20 minutes of the quesillo (flan) in the oven, remove it and add the mixture of the chocolate cake with care that it does not fall very abruptly and with a spatula we will spread it well throughout the mold so that it is uniform.
We return to the oven equal to 220ºC bain-marie. If the water was consumed, heat a little more and add it. We will bake between 40 and 45 minutes maybe a little more or a little less depending on your oven I always say they are not all the same. It will be ready when a stick comes out dry.
- We remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for an hour on a rack. Then with a knife very carefully we introduce it by the sides of the mold to take it off a little if it is necessary. We now place a large plate on it and we will turn around quickly. We arrange it a little so that it is in the center of the plate and we will tap the mold just in case it is released, we take out the mold and voilà! we already have this preciousness that will leave everyone delighted.
