Chocoflan

Not So Impossible Chocoflan



So I know I'm about two months late with this recipe. I had a good excuse for like the first two weeks of it with my new job. As for after that…I got nothing. But I promise this cake is awesome and hopefully it'll make up for my little disappearance.

Months back I was told about a cake called Chocoflan which I'm sure you already guessed is a combination of chocolate cake and flan. The combo sounded delicious and I immediately started looking up recipes and a lot of them were titled the Impossible Cake. So I put that recipe somewhere in the back of my mind hoping it got lost somewhere and moved on to another cake combo.

Well it wasn't long till the recipe came up again as a birthday request and this time I couldn't yield to the intimidation. So I was back on recipe research and found two versions of this cake. The first version used the classic flan recipe and the other added cream cheese to the mix. I've actually never had flan so wasn't sure which to choose. I personally love the creamy texture and flavor that cream cheese creates so went with that. Thankfully it worked out and that first bite was pure bliss. Also you'll be happy to know it wasn't that impossible.

Now it's you turn to give it a shot.
