Ingredients
  

  • Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
  • ½ cup SMUCKER'S® Caramel Flavored Topping
  • 1 15.25 ounce package devil's food cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup Crisco® Pure Vegetable Oil

Flan:

  • 1 14 ounce can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 12 ounce can PET® Evaporated Milk
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 12-cup fluted tube pan with nonstick spray. Place a piece of rolled-up foil into the tube part of the pan to prevent cake from spilling over the top. Pour caramel topping into the prepared pan.
  • Beat cake mix, water, 3 eggs, and vegetable oil together in a large bowl until well combined; pour evenly over caramel topping.
  • Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, 4 eggs, cream cheese, and vanilla in a blender. Process until smooth; pour slowly over cake batter. While baking, the cake will rise and the milk mixture will go to the bottom.
  • Coat a piece of foil with nonstick spray. Cover the pan tightly with foil, coated-side down. Place the pan in a large roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to a depth of 2 inches.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs on it, about 2 hours.
  • Place cake on a cooling rack; cool for 15 minutes. Remove foil and invert onto a serving plate. Cool for 1 hour at room temperature. Chill for 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  • Recipe Tip
  • Be careful when inverting hot cake onto the serving plate. Place the plate upside down on top of the pan, place another cooling rack on top, then invert.
