In a large bowl combine the butter and chocolate. Microwave at 50% power for about 1 minute. Stir it up. Keep microwaving in 10 second intervals, mixing in between, until the chocolate and butter are melted.
6 tbsp butter, 4 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate
One at a time, and mixing well between each addition, stir in the buttermilk, sugar, eggs and vanilla. I
½ cup buttermilk, ½ cup sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones. Stir until just combined – don’t over mix! The batter will be kind of thick, but don’t worry…it’s supposed to be that way!
½ cup all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa, ½ tsp baking soda
For the Flan
Add sweetened condensed milk, milk, cream cheese, eggs, and egg yolks to a blender. Combine on high speed for 1 minute, or until smooth. (If your blender has a small capacity, you may need to do this in two batches.)
2 cans sweetened condensed milk, 2 ½ cups milk, 6 oz cream cheese at room temperature, 6 large eggs, 4 large egg yolks
Cake Assembly
Microwave caramel sauce to soften and pour 1/2 cup sauce into the greased bundt pan.
½ cup caramel
Spoon the cake batter on top of the caramel sauce.
Pour the flan mix over the top of the cake batter. Don't be concerned if the cake batter rises to the top. It will rise during baking anyway.
Place the bundt pan into a larger roasting pan and add enough tap water to fill about half way up the side of the bundt pan. The water helps the flan bake evenly.
Place the pans into the oven and bake for 75-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Check your cake at 70 minutes for doneness.
Remove the bundt pan from the roasting pan. Let the bundt pan cool on the counter for about 2 hours and then refrigerate for at least 8 hours (overnight is fine).
To Remove Cake from Pan
Use large roasting pan that you used during baking and fill it one quarter full with very hot tap water. Put the bundt pan into the hot water and let it sit for about 1 minute.
Place a serving platter or cake plate upside down on top of the cake. Try to center it as much as you can. Holding the plate down onto the cake with one hand, flip the cake over and onto the cake plate. Remove the bundt pan and enjoy your beautiful, delicious chocolate flan cake!
