    The cake will stay moister than most cakes you’ve ever made and you will see it separate a bit from the pan when it is done. Make sure the cake is done on the inside of the bundt pan. Bundt pan should then lift off to reveal a layer of flan, topped with caramel. Although very tempting to do this, DO NOT try to serve this before chilled completely. I make my cake the day before and chill overnight. When taking it somewhere I leave it in the bundt pan until we are at the place then flip it over right before serving.

    Ingredients

    • CAKE MIX
    • 1 bx cake mix, spice cake
    • 1 cup canned or fresh pumpkin
    • 1 1/2 teas pumpkin pie spice

    • 1/3 c vegetable oil
    • 3 lg eggs
    • FLAN MIXTURE
    • 12 oz evaporated milk
    • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
    • 3 lg eggs (you can use up to 5 eggs)
    • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract *
    • 4 Tbsp canned pumpkin
    • 1 teas pumpkin pie spice
    • CARAMEL SAUCE
    • 1 1/2 c cajeta-mexican goat milk caramel or any kind of caramel sauce or topping
    • SUGGESTIONS:
    • use other flavor cake mixes, white, butter, butter pecan, chocolate fudge
    • use sprite for light color cakes, use coffee for mocha flavor in chocolate cakes
    • try other flavorings, praline, coconut, amaretto, in the flan mixture.
    • flan mixture- use up to 5 eggs for creamier flan

    Directions

    1. Pans:
    2. 1 - Bundt pan, any size you have will work.
    3. 1 - 9 X 13 inch cake pan - You will put about 2 inches of water in this and put the bundt pan in it to bake your cake.
    4. Make sure your bundt pan fits inside the 9x13 in pan.
    5. Cake Mix:
    6. Mix cake according to the directions on the back of the box.
    7. Combine Cake mix, coca-cola, oil and eggs, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice.
    8. Flan Part:
    9. Combine evaporated milk, sweet condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice, mix with mixer or in a blender. Mix for 2-3 min., mix well. Set aside. The more eggs you use the creamer the flan will be.
    10. Set flan mixture aside.
    11. Caramel Sauce:
    12. Spray Bundt pan with Pam spray. Pour of 1 1/2 cups Cajeta or caramel into bottom of bundt pan. Feel free to make your own caramel if you want (directions online).
    13. Assemble the cake:
    14. 1. Spray 12 cup bundt pan with Pam spray
    15. 2. Pour 1 1/2 cup Cajeta or caramel into bottom of bundt pan.
    16. 3. Pour cake batter evenly on top of caramel that is in the bundt pan.
    17. 4. Slowly pour flan mixture on top of cake batter. The flan mixture will sink to the bottom of the cake batter by itself. This will cause the cake batter to rise up in the bundt pan. Make sure it doesn't overflow.
    18. Prepare cake to bake:
    19. Get a pan large enough for the bundt pan to fit inside. I use a 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Fill the 9 x 13 inch pan with 2 inches of water. Place bundt pan in the pan with the water in it. Place both pans in the oven. Cover the bundt pan with foil for the first 35 minutes of baking.
    20. Bake the cake:
    21. Preheat oven 400 degrees, Bake about 1 hour.
    22. Start checking cake after 45 minutes and check every 15 minutes until done. It is very important for cake to be completely done or flan will not set. Check cake with toothpick, also take a knife and gently pull the cake a little from the middle tube/center of cake and peak at cake. If gooey the cake is not done and put back in oven. Also, the cake will separate from the sides and middle of the pan when done. This seems to be the most difficult part about baking this cake. If cake is not done then the flan will be not set up. When done remove bundt pan from larger pan with water and set on cooling rack.
    23. Serving the cake:
    24. Although very tempting DO NOT serve before cooling cake! Cool cake on cooling rack at room tempature about 1 hour, place cake in refrigerator at least 2-3 hours before trying to serve. I make mine the night before and refrigerate overnight.
    25. Remove from refrigerator 1-2 hours before serving, leave it out about 1 hour. Take a large serving platter and put on top of bundt pan and flip cake over. Let set and the cake will come out of the bundt pan. This cake is layered with the cake on the bottom, topped with the flan and the caramel dripping down the sides of the cake. If transporting the cake to another location leave the cake in the bundt pan and flip it onto a platter when you get there.
