Instructions
1. Prepare the Flan Mixture
o In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, and lime juice.
o Divide the mixture into two portions and color one purple and the other orange using food coloring.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Cake Batter
o Follow the instructions on the Devil’s Food cake mix box.
o Add black food coloring to achieve a dark, spooky color.
3. Assemble the Chocoflan
o Spray your pan or molds with pan spray.
o Pour the cake batter into the pan, filling it about ⅓ full.
o Slowly pour the flan mixtures over the back of a spoon to layer it gently on top of the cake batter, filling another ⅓ of the pan. Leave the final ⅓ empty for the cake to rise.
4. Bake in a Water Bath
o Spray a piece of foil with pan spray and cover the pan loosely.
o Place the chocoflan pan into a larger pan filled with hot water, ensuring the water comes slightly above halfway up the chocoflan pan.
o Bake at 350°F:
Skull molds: 45 minutes
10-inch round pan: 1 hour 15 minutes
o Carefully uncover and check for doneness. The cake should be firm in the center.
5. Cool and Flip
o Remove the chocoflan pan from the water bath and let it cool slightly.
o Flip it onto a serving tray to reveal the layered cake and flan.
6. Decorate
o Mix red food coloring with dulce de leche and spread it over the flan for a creepy, blood-like effect.
