Chocoflan is a unique Mexican dessert that combines chocolate cake and flan. It is also referred to as 'Impossible Cake', because the layers reverse during the baking process.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the Bundt pan with butter all around the sides, middle, and crevices. Add cajeta to the bottom of the bundt pan, you can reserve some for serving too.
Water bath: In a small pot, bring a couple cups of water to a boil. Enough to cover 1 inch of a large roasting pan. (The roasting pan needs to be big enough to fit the bundt pan inside).
Make box chocolate cake mix according to package. Pour batter evenly in the bundt pan over the cajeta.
In a blender, add cream cheese, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. You can add a tablespoon of vanilla if you like too. Blend until smooth.
Slowly pour the flan mixture over the chocolate cake batter. You don't want the flan to mix into the cake batter. Be sure to pour it evenly and slowely around the entire bundt pan.
Spray a large piece of foil with oil and cover the bundt pan. Make sure the sides of the foil are not touching the bottom.Add the hot water to the roasting pan and place the foil covered bundt pan inside. Carefully place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake the chocoflan for 1 hour.
Remove the chocoflan and foil after 1 hour, if the top is not set, place back into the water bath without the foil, and check every 10 min. I ended up baking it for 25 more min, so 1 hr 25 min total. When a toothpick is inserted it should come out clean.
Remove chocoflan from the water bath and cool on a baking rack for 1 hour. Using a large cake stand or cutting board, invert the chocoflan, tap the top and carefully jiggle it out of the bundt pan.Serve with more cajeta, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Notes
If you don't plan on serving the chocoflan after 1 hour of cooling, invert it out of the bundt pan and place it in the fridge. Chcocoflan is best served the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. More Dessert Recipes:JericallaArroz Con LecheApple Empanadas
