​Hello, Hive community! I hope you are having an excellent day. Today I bring you a classic recipe with a perfect twist to spoil the family or surprise guests: an individual Chocoflan (also known as impossible cake).
​The wonderful thing about this version is that by preparing it in individual portions, we can better control the baking time, it looks incredible on the table, and it is super practical to serve without breaking apart a whole cake.
​Let's get down to business and straight into the kitchen! 👩🏻‍🍳
​🛒 Ingredients
​🍮 For the Flan
​🥚 4 eggs
​🥫 1 can of condensed milk
​🥫 1 can of evaporated milk
​🍦 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
​🍫 For the Chocolate Cake
​🌾 1 cup of all-purpose flour
​🍫 \frac{1}{2} cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
​🍚 \frac{3}{4} cup of sugar
​🥄 1 teaspoon of baking powder
​🥚 1 egg
​🥛 \frac{1}{2} cup of milk
​🫒 \frac{1}{4} cup of vegetable oil
​🍦 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
​🍯 For the Molds
​🍮 1 cup of cajeta or liquid caramel
​👩🏻‍🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation
​Baker's Note: Remember to bring all your ingredients to room temperature before starting so the batter blends together perfectly.
​1️⃣ Initial Setup
​Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and place individual aluminum molds or baking liners inside a deep tray.
​2️⃣ The Sweet Base
​Add a generous tablespoon of cajeta or liquid caramel to the bottom of each mold, making sure to coat the base well.
​3️⃣ The Creamy Touch (Flan)
​Blend all the flan ingredients (eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla) in a blender. Process until you get a completely homogeneous mixture and set aside.
​4️⃣ The Spongy Base (Chocolate)
​In a deep bowl, mix the dry ingredients: wheat flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder.
Next, add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Beat vigorously until there are no lumps and you get a smooth batter.
​5️⃣ The Magical Assembly
​Fill each mold first with a portion of the chocolate batter (filling about half of its capacity) and then carefully pour the flan mixture on top.
Don't worry about the order! During baking, the magic happens and the layers will invert themselves.
​6️⃣ Water Bath and Baking
​Place the tray with the molds inside the oven and add hot water to the outer tray to cook in a water bath (bain-marie).
​7️⃣ Oven Time
​Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. To check if they are ready, insert a toothpick into the chocolate cake section; if it comes out clean, you can take them out of the oven!
​8️⃣ Cooling and Patience
​Let the chocoflans cool completely at room temperature and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before unmolding to ensure a firm and perfect consistency.
