Chocolate Flan Cake

Thanks to AJ for making  this cake for so many times and now I finally told myself I have to try this. I made this for my dear friend Jojie's husband's birthday. I got great comments about it and a  friend asked for the recipe already and she made few. The recipe was adapted from Ms. Annie. Enjoy!




Serves 12


Ingredients
For the cake:
1 (18 ounce) box of chocolate devil's food cake mix
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup oil
3 eggs

1 (11 ounce) jar cajeta caramel topping (has richer flavor) or smucker caramel topping
1 (14 ounce) can sweetend condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

1 ( 8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature

9.  Set the Bundt pan into a large pan and set on the oven rack and slide inches.
10. Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan to a depth of 2 inches. ( The Bundt pan will be sitting in 2 inches of water).
11. Bake cake for 2 hrs(test); do not uncover during this time.
12. After 2 hrs, remove cake from water and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Peel off the aluminum foil.
13. Invert cake onto a large plate with rim.
14. The cajeta will drip down the sides of the cake.
